University Abroad

You might decide to study abroad for the full duration of your course, for a year or just a semester. Some higher education courses, such as language degrees, also require some time to be spent abroad.

Paying for International Study

Fees for university study abroad can vary greatly. As it stands, you cannot access student finance loans from Student Finance England to study abroad. Scholarships for international students are often available direct from the university.

For further information on studying abroad, visit the websites of the universities, ‘Studying overseas‘, ‘Applying to study abroad‘ and ‘General visa and immigration information for studying abroad‘ pages on UCAS.

Additionally, look at information on Top Universities.

If you want to discuss University Abroad, speak with your personal tutor or an adviser from the Careers and Employability team.
