Global opportunities 2025/2026
Please click on the dropdown boxes below to find out the study abroad opportunities for your school/department for exchange in the 2025/2026 academic year.
Please ensure you check the notes column for the International exchange opportunities tables, as there may be certain restrictions for specific degree subjects or a partner university may have restrictions over which semester you can study abroad.
The opportunities listed here are correct as at the time of publishing and for the application year 2024/2025. Please be aware that study abroad options may change at any time for a number of reasons, including curriculum developments, changes to arrangements with partner universities, travel restrictions or other circumstances outside of the University’s control. Every effort will be made to update this information as quickly as possible should a change occur. Please note that, in order to be accepted on to a study abroad programme, you have to achieve the relevant academic requirements as set by the University AND meet the selection criteria of both the University and the partner institution (though the partner institution is under no obligation to accept you).
American and Canadian Studies
International school exchange
Eligibility
Four year single and joint honours degrees in American Study (International Study) require the completion of a period of study abroad, usually in North America.
American Studies (International Study) students spend third year of their four year programme abroad, normally in the United States or Canada.
Joint Honours English, History and Politics students may request to transfer into the International Study programme at the end of first year. They will then need to apply for a study abroad placement,allocation will be dependant on the number of places available at partners and is therefore not guaranteed.
Joint honours students can also apply for International exchange. English and History students must apply in first year for exchange for the spring semester of the second year. Politics students may apply in first or second year. You must get approval from both departments and should use the relevant School Global Opportunities page to see which destinations are available for you to apply for.
Places are awarded on an academically competitive basis, a minimum of a 60% average is required.
Partner institutions reflect the diversity of North America in terms of both geography and educational approach and we ensure that all are able to maintain high academic standards. Please visit the Cultures, Languages and Area Studies webpage for further information.

Year abroad
Students taking BA joint honours Language (French, Spanish, German and or Portuguese) and International Media and Communications spend their third year abroad in the country of their chosen language of study. These placements are organised by the individual language sections.
All four-year degree programmes include a third year abroad. The options for your year abroad currently include, depending on languages studied and country restrictions, studying at a university or undertaking a work placement or working as a British Council language assistant.
Students on the 3 year programme BA Honours International Media and Communications (with Interfaculty language) cannot do the Year Abroad but can apply for the University-wide programme.
The UK has left the EU and all changes to immigration rules have been implemented from 1st January 2021. The UK Government has made clear that it values international exchanges and collaboration in education and training, and we should remember that the Year Abroad provision for languages students in British universities began many years before the UK’s membership of the EU, as has the British Council Teaching assistantship. The Year Abroad will stay, and students at Nottingham continue to have a range of options for their Year Abroad. We have been working with all our Erasmus+ University partners to discuss renewal of agreements and increase the number of study places for our students at our partner universities. We always strive to forge new successful partnerships and therefore see new partners joining us, whilst others are taking a new strategic route for exchanges. Work placement opportunities remain to be available but may have shifted as we continue to see changes in the working environment as a result of the Pandemic and Brexit, but we will work to provide alternative opportunities. If you plan to work in the EU, terms and conditions of employment may vary depending on the country the work placement is in.

International exchange application information
International summer schools
Summer schools are open to all undergraduate University of Nottingham students, and offer opportunities to take taught courses at one of our partner universities.
Summer schools range between one and six weeks. As these programmes are offered during holiday periods, credits are not transferred back to Nottingham and in most cases you are free to study whatever is of interest to you.
There are a number of summer schools and short-term programmes available to students at the University of Nottingham based in various institutions worldwide. Available programmes vary from year to year, however we traditionally offer various programmes across East and Southeast Asia, Europe and North America.

Year abroad
All four year degree programmes include a third-year abroad.
The current conflict in Ukraine means that, like other UK institutions, the university is unable to send students to Russia for their year abroad. Students will attend language courses in neighbouring countries (e.g. Estonia and Latvia) where Russian is used by a native speaking community. This is the approach being taken by other UK universities offering degrees in Russian.
We expect that students will still undertake a period of time abroad during their degree, and are confident that alternative options will meet the learning needs of students, providing them with ample opportunity to develop their language and intercultural skills.
The options for your year abroad currently include, depending on languages studied and country restrictions, studying at a university or undertaking a work placement or working as a British Council language assistant.
The UK has left the EU and all changes to immigration rules have been implemented from 1st January 2021. The UK Government has made clear that it values international exchanges and collaboration in education and training, and we should remember that the Year Abroad provision for languages students in British universities began many years before the UK’s membership of the EU, as has the British Council Teaching assistantship. The Year Abroad will stay, and students at Nottingham continue to have a range of options for their Year Abroad. We have been working with all our Erasmus+ University partners to discuss renewal of agreements and increase the number of study places for our students at our partner universities. We always strive to forge new successful partnerships and therefore see new partners joining us, whilst others are taking a new strategic route for exchanges. Work placement opportunities remain to be available but may have shifted as we continue to see changes in the working environment as a result of the Pandemic and Brexit, but we will work to provide alternative opportunities. If you plan to work in the EU, terms and conditions of employment may vary depending on the country the work placement is in.
