The Swansea Further Education Trust is open to any discipline. Up to ten awards are available for postgraduate study at the University of Pennsylvania for September 2002. The research grant covers transport from home and Lausanne, accommodation for between 1 and a maximum of three months and a allowance of 1800 Swiss Francs. The programme provides graduates with the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in their chosen career through a six-month paid placement. All graduates on the programme complete a business awareness course specifically designed to provide them with the practical business, career management and personal development skills they need to meet the demands of local businesses.
Programmes run throughout the year.
Although the course will not train you to become a journalist or a TV producer, it will equip you to play a role in interactive visitor attractions, millennium science centres and science festivals. The third term is also available at partner institutions in Asia. Entry requirements are a good honours degree in an academic subject and a working knowledge of the language of the relevant countries. The courses are run around the country throughout the year. They aim to give you an opportunity to assess your personal transferable skills and attributes and identify your strengths and areas for development, to allow you to experience some of the techniques and processes that enable skills to be used effectively when working in teams, and in your career selection and development.
