Exchange opportunities

We work with a number of universities overseas to offer student exchange opportunities. If you are enrolled at one of our partner universities outside of the United Kingdom you may be able to join us for an exchange programme.

Exchange programme lengths vary depending on the course which you are studying. You may join us for a couple of weeks, a semester, or a full academic year. Your university will be able to provide more information.

Research has also shown that students who take part in exchange programmes are looked favourably upon by employers, so not only will you benefit from cultural exchanges, you'll also be improving your graduate prospects.

passports and visas

You must have a valid passport to travel to the UK. Depending on the length of your exchange you will need to apply for one of the following visas:
