  • At the University of Essex, you can study or work abroad in your second or third year.

  • At the university of Nottingham, you can choose to study at a partner university, get a similar yet different experience offshore at a foreign Nottingham university campus or work at an international company for your year abroad. Most departments offer the chance to spend either a summer, semester or year abroad to work, study or teach.

  • The option to study abroad is popular with students at the university of Exeter, across the board. Whether you’re studying Languages or fancy spending a semester or year abroad, there’s loads to choose from.

  • At the University of Aberdeen, you can take a year abroad if you are studying from a range of disciplines. Although most commonly associated with Modern Language students, students of Law and other departments can also speak to their course supervisor to check whether they can take a year abroad.

  • At the University of York you have four options for your year abroad: a British Council assistantship, a Comenius assistantship, an industrial work placement, or an Erasmus placement at a European university.

  • Students at QMUL are encouraged to study abroad thanks to the university’s various links to partner universities across the globe. Students of all departments (with the exception of Law, Medicine and Dentistry) are eligible to apply. At QMUL, Modern Language students can choose to work, study or teach abroad as part of the Erasmus scheme. German students can also choose to study or work abroad at independent German institution, checking with their year abroad coordinators first.

  • The University of Leicester offers the chance to go abroad for most of its students. That is to say, you don’t need to be studying Modern Languages to go abroad for a year. Generally speaking, other departments outside of Languages tend to have partner universities across the world for you to spend your year abroad in.

    • Working abroad undertaking a placement

    • Working as an English Language Assistant
  • Student societies: The ins and outs
