The Study Abroad Guidance Centre is part of the Student Development Guidance Centre of Glasgow College, aiming to explore the establishment of the whole process of the study abroad guidance system in the four years of college and to improve the quality of students' further study abroad. The Centre focuses on building a professional study abroad guidance team, collecting and integrating the most effective study abroad information, building a communication platform for students to study abroad, providing comprehensive, professional, and systematic guidance and services for students to study abroad, and helping students to achieve their dreams of studying abroad.
At present, the center has 2 full-time staff, 5 students in the study abroad consulting team, 10 students in the paperwork guidance team, and 14 students in the Pilot Study Abroad Club. In terms of guidance on study abroad planning, the center offers the elective course ‘Study Abroad Planning and Guidance’ for all students, carries out ‘one-to-one’ study abroad consultation, holds regular study abroad consultation and exchange meetings every year, and carries out lectures on study abroad planning by experts, teachers and peers at different levels. In terms of guidance on study abroad documents, the Centre provides ‘one-to-one’ guidance on writing study abroad documents, a series of lectures, and workshops on writing documents to help students explore their highlights and personalize their study abroad documents. At present, the Centre has already formed such characteristic activities as the private meeting of the College, study abroad salon, paperwork workshop, face-to-face meeting with admissions officers, adaptation to study abroad, alumni salon, and Hello World.
