A Gap Year

A gap year is a time out, a breather, a chance to recharge your batteries or to try out a different way of living and maybe a different way of learning. Students have many reasons for temporarily wishing to stop their studies.

Sometimes they just want to hit the pause button. After years of studying hard and feeling the stress of exams that seem never-ending, some students just want to have a year to relax, reflect and think about the future.

Others may not be certain that they are on the right track. They want time to look at other possibilities and decide what is the best future for them.

Other students may feel that their chosen path requires skills and experience that can be learned better through hands on training than in a classroom. A year spent living in a different culture, speaking a different language is always a plus on a cv.
