International Opportunities

Experience the opportunity of a lifetime and take your studies or work overseas.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Erasmus+ and International Exchange incoming (physical and virtual) and outgoing (physical) mobilities are not available for the 2020/21 academic year.

All staff and students are encouraged to take part in our exciting International Futures virtual programme during the first trimester. A programme for the second trimester will be available later in the year.

Mobility options for the 2021/22 academic year are subject to COVID-19 developments.
