You are here Study Abroad

Outgoing Students

Many students in the Schools spend half or all of their third year studying at distinguished universities in Europe, Australia, Asia and North America. This is a unique opportunity for students to not only enrich their academic education but also to gain invaluable intercultural, language, social and civic skills. Some of the exchange programmes offer courses through English while others allow students to study abroad through the country’s language. There are a variety of exchange programme types and destinations on offer.
