There are several ways you can find out more information about Study Abroad.
- The first thing to do is check that you can Study Abroad with your programme, you can find out this information via the Student Hub. Except for languages and Primary Education, most courses allow you to study abroad in either semester one or two of your second year, a few courses also allow for a year abroad. Primary Education and Language students go in their third year.
- Next, make sure you read all the relevant articles on the Student Hub. We have articles covering support available, host university details and funding and costs.
- Programme Talks: In the first few weeks of term we try and visit as many lectures as possible to give students an overview of what they can expect from studying abroad so look out for us then.
- Attend a Study Abroad Information Session in the FutureYou Space (HG013). These 30-minute sessions are aimed at 1st year (and 2nd year Primary Education) students who want to find out more about studying abroad as part of their degree. There will be a short presentation and then time to ask questions.
