Destinations in Europe

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Students should confirm with their departmental coordinator that their degree programme includes an option to study abroad on exchange.

Our exchange destinations offer a diverse range of cultural and social environments, and you should be aware that societal attitudes and norms can be quite different from those in the UK. These differences are often reflected in the legal environment. You should familiarise yourself with these differences and bear them in mind when selecting destinations in your application for the Student Exchange Programme.

You need to consider whether you are going to be comfortable living and studying abroad in your chosen destination. You should pay particular attention to differences in areas such as: freedom of political expression and rights to free speech; freedom of sexual expression and attitudes to same sex relationships; attitudes and the law pertaining to alcohol and other drugs. When choosing a destination you should also consider the potential impact of your race, ethnicity and/or skin colour. The age limits for participating in various activities varies according to location, and in most (if not all) countries, ignorance of the law is not a defence against prosecution. 

 

How to consult which destinations in Europe are open to you for an exchange abroad:

  1. Consult the filterable table further down this page that specifies which institutions are eligible destinations for each academic department and intended exchange duration. Please type your academic department/school in the search bar and use the filters to narrow down and sort the options available to you based on both your degree programme and your intended duration.
  2. Consult the new hyperlinked destination sub-pages (where available) for each institution that a) interests you and b) where you're eligible to go (see links directly below, organised alphabetically by Country). More European sub-destination pages will be published in the upcoming weeks and months.
  3. Discuss with your academic department to verify that your desired destinations are suitable for your path of study.
