Study Abroad

Opportunities for study abroad

Studying abroad can enrich your life and enhance your career prospects. The School encourages all of its undergraduate students to consider spending a period of study abroad in their final year. The School has exchange agreements with a range of universities, both in Europe and the US.

 

EUROPE: EU Socrates-Erasmus Programme

You don't necessarily have to speak another European language to spend a semester at one of our partner institutions in Europe. Many European universities offer courses in English, and you can brush up your language skills (or discover them for the first time!) while you're there.

See here for the background to the Erasmus programme as well as students' experiences of studying abroad.

Study USA (formerly BEI)

The BEI Programme has undergone a change of name to the Study USA Programme but still involves 12 months studying business-related courses at a U.S. church-affiliated university or college. Places are available at one of over 100 institutions from Florida to Montana or California to North Carolina. Study USA is open to full-time pre-final year students of any discipline, including all PISP UG programmes.

Study USA is accredited under the Degree Plus Award through the US Certificate in American Business Practice and well regarded by graduate employers.
