Study Overseas Opportunities
We encourage our students to take a global study opportunity as part of their degree studies.
You can take part in an overseas study experience or international exchange programme during your programme. For further information see our Study Abroad flyer. Options you can take include:
- a semester as part of a taught programme,
- a summer placement,
- a research project at a partner University,
- a year abroad study placement (Biosciences Study Abroad Placement),
- a short-term global opportunity, or
- a virtual exchange.
We provide support in finding the right opportunity at the right time for you, and our global ambassadors are on hand to give you advice and insight on what studying overseas is really like.

University of Waterloo in Canada Exchange
My name is Tania, and I spent 2 semesters at the University of Waterloo in Canada. I was very wary in the beginning about my exchange but looking back at it now I have zero regrets about going. I had such an amazing year, surrounded by other exchange students from all over the world. There were many events planned to meet other students that integrating into the University life was no issue. I got to experience a different culture and teaching that I would have never had the chance to do. If you are considering a year abroad but are stressed, I say look past your worries and do it!! It was a one in a lifetime experience for me:)
We can help you decide where you want to go in the world, for how long and what you want to study. Our in-School Exchange Coordinator can provide more details and would guide you through the choices available, application and nomination through to selecting what you study.
Our Global Opportunities team manage our University-wide partnerships (for a full list of where you can go, check out their website) and provide support and guidance. They also advertise short term mobility opportunities as well. You can also study languages for free alongside your programme through our University-Wide Language Programme and access support through the Language Resource Centre.
