Why not take the opportunity to volunteer with Oyster Worldwide, offering the added benefit of working abroad. This looks doubly impressive as you show a high level of maturity, confidence and drive to work in unfamiliar cultures and get the very best out of your experience. What’s more, it makes for a very interesting read for employers and admissions tutors to receive unique applications drawing on an exciting few weeks with sharks in South Africa or with turtles in Costa Rica – making you stand out from the crowd.

If animal welfare is your thing, Oyster can offer a specialist and personalised service to ensure you get valuable experience for a degree in Marine Biology – from working in shark conservation off the stunning coast of South Africa to working with turtles in Costa Rican paradise.

Otherwise get hands-on experience caring for orphaned monkeys to supplement your qualifications for a degree in Veterinary Sciences.

Many of Oyster Worldwide's applicants even choose to do more than one of our animal welfare projects (more for the love of it than for the CV – but it certainly helps!)

Don’t risk it! – Spend your summer, career break or gap year wisely to secure the course or job you’ve always wanted! For more information please call 01892 770 771 or view the profiles below.
