How to apply

The first step is to check your eligibility to study abroad with your department.  The destination will depend on your department.  If you aren't already enrolled on a four year degree scheme, it may be possible to change degree schemes in order to study abroad, please check with your degree scheme / department Study Abroad Academic Co-ordinator to see if this is an option for you. 

When you have decided which option to select, your department will provide guidance on the application process.

What and when?

Students on 3 year degree schemes may have the option of spending a semester of their second year studying abroad.

Students on 4 year degree schemes that include an intercalary year, can spend their third year studying abroad. 

If none of these are applicable to you, please speak with your department about changing degree schemes.  Alternatively, our summer programmes offer another route to gaining international experience.

Where can I go?

Swansea University has links with more than 100 partner universities and organisations around the world.  Your study abroad destination will depend on the agreements that exist between your department and the overseas institutions.  You can view a full list of international partners here.
