Global opportunities 2026/2027
Please click on the dropdown boxes below to find out the study abroad opportunities for your school/department for exchange in the 2026/2027 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 2025/2026. 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).
