What support will I get throughout the process?
You will have support from the Study Abroad team throughout the whole process from the moment you consider applying, right up until when you return home from your host university. You are able to make appointments to speak to our Study Abroad team and will also be asked to attend a series of pre-departure webinars to support you in preparing to go abroad.
You will be allocated a dedicated Study Abroad academic adviser who will help you with the academic side of things, such as selecting modules at your host university.
If you already receive support from additional teams at York St John (such as wellbeing or disability support) then you should also speak to them about the support you require while abroad.
Once you start applying to your host university, you may also receive support from the international team at the host university. They will be able to help you with their application process and advise you which visa you require amongst other things.
When you are abroad, you will have access to our wellbeing partner, Spectrum.Life, who offer 24/7 counselling and other resources available through their portal. You will also receive information about York St John University-s travel insurance should you find yourself in need of their services whilst overseas.
