A semester abroad usually takes place in second year for all 3-year degree programmes and 4-year degree programmes which include a Year in Industry. Students must apply in year 1! Students on any other 4-year course should check with their International Opportunities Advisor (IOA) as a semester abroad may be available to take in either second or third year. Students must apply in year 2 for a semester abroad in year 3 (if this option is available)! |

Study Abroad in Europe falls under the Erasmus+ scheme. Erasmus+ is an EU funding initiative that gives students the opportunity to study at a partner university within the EU and EEA whilst receiving a grant to help cover some living expenses.
