There are many reasons for a stay abroad: a stay abroad increases your qualifications and at the same time your chances on the labour market. Students who have spent time abroad generally find a job much more quickly and are therefore less likely to be unemployed. The EU Commission has also commissioned a study that confirms this result.
Many employers value graduates who have gained experience abroad, as they have acquired intercultural skills as well as language skills. A stay abroad also helps you personally: you become more open to new experiences, train your "soft skills" and thus contribute to your personal development.
Regardless of which option you choose, your time abroad will enable you to develop personally and have a positive impact on your future career!
