Abby Duncan joined the College of Global Studies in 2025. She graduated with  honours in Business Management in 2021 and went on to complete a Master’s in  Global Business in 2023, a programme conducted across three institutions: the University of Glasgow (Scotland), the University of Victoria (Canada), and  Chulalongkorn University (Thailand). 

During her undergraduate studies, Abby undertook a one-year placement in 2019 as  an Academic Support Assistant with the NU Immerse programme within the Global  Department at Northeastern University in Boston, where she specifically supported  study abroad students. Since then, her passion for cross-cultural communication and  intercultural challenges has continued to grow, leading her to focus on this subject  throughout her master's studies. She further explored these themes in her master’s  thesis, which concentrated on cross-cultural communication and negotiation with a  focus on Chinese cultural norms. 

In 2023 and 2024, Abby worked with University College Dublin (UCD) and  Northeastern University as a Student Success Coordinator, supporting study abroad  students. In her spare time Abby loves to travel.
