Experience of Sociology/Politics in a wider non-UK context;
Experience of different teaching and study methods and styles and the chance to extend knowledge beyond the units that are delivered in Bristol;
Experience of international experience, including living, studying and engaging in a different country, culture and national context; and
The opportunity to broaden horizons and be immersed in a new and exciting environment.
