Add your experience and education to your CV
When you study abroad in the UK, you develop lots of skills, interests and experience. These can all be used to add value to your CV and show your personal development. From becoming more independent to meeting important deadlines, these skills are easily applied to working life.
Any relevant clubs or societies you join can be mentioned on your CV too. Here are just 10 of the 160 societies that are available to join at Newcastle University:
- mechanical engineering society
- formula student team
- bar law society
- pharmacy society
- international society
- South Asian society
- academic medicine
- business society
- economics society
- entrepreneur society
Depending on what you’re studying, a society could work alongside your degree and give you experience. For example, the bar law society has regular trips to court and offers valuable networking experiences with Barristers. It can also be a great opportunity to make friends with students who have the same interests as you.
