Year abroad

We have strong partnerships with universities across the globe – from Italy to Singapore and Canada to Australia. With the support of Queen Mary and your host university, you will live and study in a different country, giving you the chance to travel widely and enhance your career prospects. This experience will be of great value to those looking to enter the international business landscape, as it will allow you to gain international experience and cross-cultural understanding.

Our inaugural group of students embarked on journeys to renowned universities like Cornell, George Washington University, Bocconi, Stockholm Business School, University of Sydney, University of Toronto, University of California, Nanyang University and others, enriching their academic lives with diverse, world-class educational experiences. This isn't just an academic year – it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to expand your horizons and study in some of the world's most dynamic university environments.

"My year abroad at Cornell University was a transformative experience, both academically and personally. Immersing myself in an environment known for its elite academics and lively campus life pushed me to expand my knowledge in international business, all while connecting with other students from diverse cultural backgrounds. I also gained access to world-class faculty and state-of-the-art facilities which aided me in developing critical skills for my career. This experience improved my adaptability to new environments, broadened my global perspective, and provided me with a unique insight into U.S. Social and business practices. I wholeheartedly recommend this exchange to any student looking to enhance their academic journey."

Alejandro Garcia-Ruescas Fernandez, BSc International Business Analytics, 
Exchange programme at Cornell University

"Joining the exchange programme at Bocconi was an unforgettable experience that shaped me both academically and personally. Working with students from around the world in a competitive environment pushed me to excel and gave me valuable career insights. Professors and guest lecturers made classes truly engaging, challenging us to think differently.

Living in Milan was a refreshing change from London, especially socially. I built close bonds with flatmates and classmates, spending evenings over aperitivos, exploring Milan’s rich art and culture, and travelling through Italy. It was one of the best years of my life, filled with memories I’ll always cherish."

Nicola Amedeo Salvia, BSc International Business Analytics, Exchange programme at the University of Bocconi.

"My exchange year at UCSD was unforgettable, filled with enriching experiences that expanded my perspective. The campus buzzed with energy, and I was constantly inspired by the collaborative atmosphere and engaging discussions in and outside of class. Exploring San Diego was equally rewarding—hiking El Cajon Mountain challenged me physically and gave me a breath taking view of the city, while evenings spent at La Jolla Cove watching the sunset were simply magical. The blend of academic rigor and outdoor adventures made my time at UCSD truly transformative."

Karthik Krishna Sivaswamy, BSc International Business Analytics, Exchange programme at the University of California San Diego

"My time at Cornell University was a perfect balance of unforgettable memories and personal growth. I made lifelong friends who became my support system and shared countless adventures, from sledding down snowy slope to cheering on the Big Red at ice hockey games. Living in beautiful Ithaca, with its stunning Taughannock Falls and picturesque landscapes, was a dream. Slope Day was a highlight with basking in the energy of the day. Beyond academics, it was an incredible experience to be part of an Ivy League community, surrounded by so many brilliant, inspiring people. At the ILR School, I was challenged intellectually and exposed to cutting-edge ideas, all while having access to world-class faculty and a rigorous curriculum that pushed me to grow both personally and professionally. Cornell truly provided the perfect environment to thrive in all aspects of life."

Sourav Marar, BSc International Business Analytics, Exchange programme at Cornell University
