Exchange programme

Our exchange programme gives you the opportunity to study or work in Europe or outside the European Union as part of your degree programme, usually for a full academic year.

There are great benefits to taking part in a student exchange programme. You can visit a new country, meet new people and experience a new way of life. Graduates with international experience are actively sought by employers.

Students participating in an exchange placement are awarded credit which counts towards their degree marks.
