Studying abroad is an amazing way to enhance your studies and bring an international dimension to your degree. Students have the option to complete an academic placement at one of our 200 partners universities across the world for a semester, year or for a short term course during an academic break.
We understand mature students may have commitments to navigate so they can proceed with this option. With our diverse range of partner destinations and placement durations, every student can find a suitable programme.
The Study Abroad team are here to help you through each step of the journey. They can help advise students about their options, most suitable destinations, and administrative processes.
There is funding available through Student Finance loans and bursaries, the UK Government’s Turing Scheme and UEA to support students to have this experience. Find out more information on the Finances and Budgeting page.
To express an interest in studying abroad, please complete this short enquiry form. We will then let you know your options and how to take the next step. Get in touch via studyabroad@uea.ac.uk if you have any questions.
You can also find lots of information on the Study Abroad webpages.
