Beyond Your Horizon - Study Abroad!
You have a unique opportunity to spend a year studying in Europe, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan or the United States as a full part of your degree programme. Spending a full year or a semester abroad in your third year is an opportunity which few people have in their lives and, for those who do, that time can be the most important one for them in terms of personal development and establishing their direction for the future.
Study Abroad for a Semester or a Year
If you are interested in spending one or both semesters of your third year at one of our exchange partners across the world, please read more information located on the Exchange website. For students interested in studying in Europe with the ERASMUS programme, please contact your department directly. We have provided an FAQ section, so please feel free to read about questions that are commonly asked before emailing.
Going Global - Tuesday 19th March
Study abroad opportunities for students will be featured as part of the Going Global event running on Tuesday 19th March. The International Exchanges Manager, along with current and former exchange students, will be available in the atrium to talk to you about the benefits of studying abroad. Two information sessions about the study abroad process will take place in the University Chaplaincy from 1pm – 2pm and 4pm – 5pm. Current second year students are not too late to apply to the University Exchange Programme for semester 6. There are still lots of places available at selected partner universities for students interested in studying abroad as part of their degree programme. Come along to Going Global and find out about this fantastic opportunity!
