Study abroad

Our international partners in Europe, Australia, North America and Asia, offer different pathways for students to experience new cultures, graduate with an excellent degree and boost their employability.

Find out more about the different study abroad pathways available.

Semester abroad

This option allows undergraduate students to spend a semester abroad doing part of their degree overseas, without adding any extra time to their studies.

Although the programme is not reflected in the degree title, it is recognised in the student’s Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR).

Year abroad

With this option, undergraduate students can do a full academic year at a partner overseas university, extending their studies by one year.

Year in China at XJTLU

This is a special one-year programme at our English speaking partner university Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in Suzhou, where students have the opportunity to study modules on Chinese history and culture.

Although most modules are delivered in English, students also learn Mandarin which provides them with the foundation to speak and understand the language to a basic level.

Summer abroad

The summer abroad option is the shortest of all global opportunities, but it is great chance to get all the benefits of an international experience without being away from home for a full year or a semester.
