Study Abroad
Outgoing study abroad
Almost one quarter of our students study or work abroad at some stage during their degree. Students on four year degree programmes automatically spend their third year away from the University, either in the UK or overseas, but those on any three year programme can apply to add a year abroad to their studies.
On the BA International Development three year programme, a semester abroad is also possible in the second semester of the second year.
Within Europe, POLIS currently has Erasmus exchanges with partner universities in:
- Belgium
- France
- The Netherlands
- Norway
- Poland
- Portugal
- Spain
- Sweden
- Turkey
Outside Europe, students can apply to the University's exchange programmes in:
- Asia
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Canada
- Latin America
- South Africa
- USA
Incoming students
Each year, we welcome more and more students from all parts of the world to our School, and we believe that it adds greatly to the quality of the learning experience for all of us.
