Study Abroad

Those who have chosen to study abroad often say that it was the highlight of their time as a student.

Undergraduate students can apply to go abroad for one semester or one year (on some courses).

Students taking part in this exchange will experience a different teaching and learning environment and have the opportunity to take modules that might not be available at Nottingham or in the UK at all.

I studied abroad because I did not want to settle for an ordinary university experience. I wanted the challenge of moving to a new country, escaping my cultural 'bubble' and establishing lifelong transatlantic friendships. It is amazing how quickly strangers become friends, and a new place becomes a second home.
Kieran Leigh, studied abroad for a year at the University of South Florida, United States
 
Everybody should have the opportunity to study abroad because of the life changing effects it can have on a person. It may sound like a cliché, but studying abroad really is a once in a lifetime opportunity to befriend people for life, grow as a person, and have an amazing time immersing yourself in a new place.
Murray Liptrot, studied abroad for a year at Korea University, South Korea
