Now in their third year, the awards – which are run by the International Student Identity Card Association (ISIC), British Council IELTS and StudyPortals – aim to encourage more students to study overseas in order to further intercultural understanding and exchange.

Developed to encourage young people to study abroad as part of their tertiary studies in order to experience and explore new countries, cultures and languages, the Global Study Awards recognizes the value of studying abroad as a positive life changing experience for many students, opening their minds to alternative ways of succeeding in their personal life and professional career.
