A years placement working or go to study abroad
Hi,
As a part of my biomedical sciences degree I have a sandwich year which I can do either a placement in industry such as the NHS or do a year studying abroad. As I’m nearing the end of first year and starting to look ahead I’m unsure what to do. On one hand a year in industry is a great foot in the door with employers and looks great on a cv, and helps familiarise myself with the role I’ll later play in the workforce after my degree. However a chance to study abroad is excellent for learning a new language meeting new people and familiarising yourself with different cultures while learning in a subject I’m passionate about is an exciting opportunity that I may never get again. I’m at a crossroads of what to consider as a serious pathway going forward. Any insight or opinions is greatly appreciated!
