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.

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.

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.
