STUDYING AT A UNIVERSITY ABROAD
University is a new beginning to break barriers and leave your comfort zone. Choose to study at a university abroad and open yourself up to a new world.
Open Day
If I were the rector of a university, the first thing I would do after boasting about the degree of “magnificus” that the position confers, would be to establish, without a doubt, the open day as the only day of compulsory attendance common to all courses, and what about the rest of the absences? Well, we could talk about it… Hearing about “Open Day” may not sound all that appealing if it is not organised by an amusement park or McDonald’s offering an open bar of McFlurries, but, just like tasting the chocolate sprinkles of this famous dessert, visiting a university’s Open Day can change your life. What is an Open Day? Let’s start by clarifying what an open day is. These are one or more days of free access to universities so that prospective students and their families can visit the university, explore the campus and residences, discover the different degrees, courses and opportunities offered, participate in workshops, attend orientation talks on the different degrees with students and teaching staff and experience the university atmosphere. What can I do on the Open Day? If you are still exercising your legitimate right to not be sure what to study, visiting an Open Day and delving a little into the methodologies, the subjects that make up a degree, the possible job opportunities or simply, which speaker you liked the most, can help you clarify those doubts. Maybe you already know what you want to study, but you haven’t decided yet where. During Open Days, with a visitor sticker on your chest, you can move around the campus like any other student and literally go right into the kitchen. Who doesn’t like the feeling of sneaking through doors with a sign that says Staff Only? Between sandwiches and snacks, you can walk up and down the facilities, visiting the gym, cafeteria, laboratories, classrooms, common areas, libraries, conference rooms, gardens, dormitories, etc. Considering that the university you choose is where you’ll be spending a lot of your time and making connections over the next few years, it’s also important to be able to savor the atmosphere and imagine yourself walking through the halls between classes. You’ll have the chance to talk to students and, in addition to solving your academic questions, you might meet like-minded people with the same concerns and motivations and end the day thinking, “Holly guacamole, this is where I belong!” It’s all well and good to procrastinate and leave the dishes undone until the last minute, but don’t do the same with choosing your university! Sign up for an Open Day and start enjoying the feeling of being a university student right now. While COVID doesn’t let us return to normal, Did you know that Open Days are now VIRTUAL? SIGN UP!

We are members of ASEPROCE
We are starting a new year full of many challenges! We have reviewed all the points that made us strong in 2019 to continue strengthening them and all those that you considered we should improve to try to do so and continue growing. What does it mean to be a member of ASEPROCE? We have already begun to achieve part of this growth. Last December 2019, we became members of the ASEPROCE Association, which promotes the quality of companies like ours. Companies that carry out our work and activity “with rigor and within the existing law and that, therefore, can offer professionalism, experience, security and solvency in the management of courses and programs abroad.” For this reason, we are proud to be members, since our work and dedication are recognized, in addition to the effort we put in every day so that whoever chooses us to have their experience feels that they have everything they are looking for. The ASEPROCE 2019 assembly On the day of the meeting, we were able to spend a very pleasant afternoon with colleagues from the sector, from whom we learned a lot, as well as with other professionals who expanded our legal and marketing knowledge. That’s why we’re starting 2020 with changes, but maintaining our essence. We’re continuing to stand out for our closeness and family atmosphere when it comes to providing the best experiences abroad, which are increasingly important for personal and professional development and growth. Connectors Plus 2020: We present ourselves again As many of you don’t know us, we’d like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves again: Connectors Plus is an international mobility agency founded in Vigo in 2014. Today’s world is increasingly competitive because it is more globalized, so it is very important to focus on the professional future in order to guide the work. For this reason, we carry out various programs with English as a basis for personal and professional development, including skills and abilities. We are aware that languages are becoming increasingly important, as has been the usual trend in recent years. But it is also necessary to develop skills and aptitudes such as adaptability, tolerance, empathy, communication, teamwork or sociability, among many others, as they are increasingly in demand by companies. Living an experience abroad is a combination of both. Taking the step to leave your comfort zone is not always easy, but it will always be enriching to get to know other cultures and other academic and training models. We are responsible for helping at all times so that whoever makes the decision to embark on one of our programs has support and guidance from the moment they come to us to ask for information, until they return from their adventure.
