International Office, 8th Floor, Laver Building

Your university experience at Exeter can reach far beyond the South West of England: the Study Abroad team facilitates student mobility across Europe and internationally through a number of recognised schemes as part of your degree programme. Students who have studied abroad demonstrate initiative, independence, motivation and, depending on where they stay, may also have gained a working knowledge of another language – all qualities employers are looking for.

 

Where on earth should you go?!

Wherever you go is going to become your second home, and it’s not a decision to be taken lightly. Here is Tessa's advice to help you research where to go.
