In this podcast we hear about how colleagues in the School of Environmental Sciences are supporting students on programmes in Ecology and Marine Biology to develop as global citizens. We explore the development of Independent Overseas Study Visits for students where they engage in a project that supports their understanding of the discipline in a global context. We hope this podcast will support you to reflect upon the impact that supporting students to engage with international partners can have upon their personal development as well as their discipline understanding with a view to developing your own personal practice.
