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
