Extracurricular Activities
Taking courses and classes on your year abroad, like cooking, life-drawing, photography, yoga, another language or business, is a great way to boost the skill section of your CV and meet like-minded local students who share your interests. If you need to develop your language skills, it's an opportunity to practice your hobbies and learn relevant vocabulary which interests you at the same time.

Here are some ideas (and a video to inspire you to travel, learn to cook and try new things)...

  • If you’re heading out to Germany for your year away, whether you’re Erasmus studying, working a cool internship or going down a volunteering route, you should look into practicing skills, passions and random activities in your spare time. Why? Because you’ll have way more spare time now then you will come 4th year, or, shudder, upon graduating when CVs, interviews and grown-up jobs will take over your life. Here’s our definitive list of the cool and quirky, from hip Berlin to dreamy Dortmund, happening Frankfurt and more...
  • Taking out an extra course during your time in France will mean you can practice something you’re interested in, with the locals - what better way to have fun whilst you’re learning, we say. With so many free hours, it’s easy to stuff yourself silly with choucroute and slurp on fine wine: and although that’s an equally beneficial way to improve your language (as long as you’re oohing and aahing with the Frenchies), you can also get another insight into the culture, the people and their habits.
