Study exchange

Employers are increasingly looking for graduates who have enhanced their employability by undertaking a work placement, or have a global perspective gained from their study exchanges. One of the many benefits of undergraduate study in the School of Social Sciences and Humanities is that you have the option to extend your degree to include a year-long professional work placement, a study exchange or a combination of both (6+6).

Why do a study exchange?

  • Get ahead in the job market
  • A different and new study outlook
  • Meet an international network of friends
  • Improve your ability to establish relations with people from different cultural backgrounds
  • Gain an international perspective
  • Additional qualification – Diploma in International Studies

Where do our students go on study exchange?

There are many study exchange opportunities with European universities and present University-wide international exchanges include Australia, Japan, Singapore, and the USA. Check here for the most up-to-date list of our partner universities and which School/study areas they partner with.
