As a result, English speaking countries, such as Australia, the US and Canada, were among the most popular destinations for those thinking about the benefits of
studying abroad.But a spokesman for Milkround, Mike Barnard, said that learning a second language, perhaps as part of a structured gap year experience, would open doors in the graduate jobs market.There are often roles reserved only for those with language skills so it's surprising students don't want to stretch themselves and study in a country where English isn't the first language,he added.Earlier this month, Lizzie Fane, founder of ThirdYearAbroad.com, said that graduates who look further afield for work experience were likely to gain access to job opportunities that would not always be open to them in the UK.
