External Opportunities

Applying and participating in programs that are external to one's institution can help you in acquiring and observing an extensive breadth of new ideas. It will also improve your chances when applying to graduate school and jobs. This is because employers and academics usually search for candidates who have gone above and beyond their comfort zone and were exposed successfully to a wide range of scenarios. What follows is a compilation of some resources where you will be able to find some of these opportunities.

Make sure to also check out our list of upcoming deadlines, where external opportunities are often posted.
