University of Portsmouth
Ask anyone who has taken a study/work abroad programme will tell you that it was one of the best experiences of their university life. Imagine walking to University along the banks of the River Seine or doing your weekly shop in an Italian street market. One of the biggest regrets of people in their late twenties and thirties is that they didn't go travelling when they were younger. Leaving it until you have a full time job and a mortgage makes things difficult - why not take the opportunity while you're a student?
University of Salford
Studying or working abroad is a guaranteed way to completely change your time at University. It’s a life-changing experience that will prepare you for life like nothing else.

The University, and any employer or industry you go in to, will value your time abroad very highly, and you will too. Going abroad is like a catalyst, it will help you grow so much more as a person.

Have you always wanted to travel and gain life experience? Then why not spend a year or semester abroad as part of your degree.

University of Sunderland
Many of our students broaden their cultural horizons and study abroad at partner universities in Europe, the USA, Canada, South America and Australia while gaining credits towards their degree. This gives them a distinct advantage when presenting themselves to a prospective employer. Students study for one or two semesters at one of our exchange partner universities. The time spent abroad replaces the time which would have been spent in Sunderland, so it doesn't increase the time it takes to study for a degree.
