The Year Abroad


During their Year Abroad students decide how best to divide their time between countries and activities. Possibilities include working as a language assistant in schools or colleges, studying at a university, or completing a work placement. The Department has a large number of ERASMUS exchanges and also has links with universities in Chile, Russia and Mexico. The Department’s Work Placement Officer helps those who prefer to find work placements abroad.
