Global opportunities
As an undergraduate student in the School of Computing, you can study abroad for a full academic year. This year abroad will be with one of our exchange partners in a different country. If you’re on a three-year undergraduate programme, your year abroad will be between Stage 2 and 3.
A year abroad will make your degree one year longer.
Short-term global opportunities
Short-term opportunities are available to both our undergraduate and postgraduate students. These opportunities are perfect if you can't commit to a full year or semester abroad.
These experiences usually happen over the summer months, outside of term time.
