Should I choose a university partly based on opportunities to work in international teams?
Yes, if it fits your goals and preferred way of learning, opportunities to study or work in international teams can reasonably be one factor in choosing a university. They may help you practise collaboration, explanation, and coordination with people from different backgrounds. However, they should not be the only criterion; consider them alongside the subject content, learning environment, and available support.
Key points
- Check whether the opportunities take place in classes, research, projects, or extracurricular activities.
- Look into team composition, frequency, working language, participation requirements, and support from faculty or staff.
- Consider how international teamwork would contribute to your subject area and future plans.
Things to check
- The number, format, and accessibility of these opportunities can vary by university, faculty or department, and academic year. Check the latest official information.
