When a student has an enquiry about MDX Erasmus and Exchange Programme
What should you be aware of?
Students on most MDX programmes, from undergraduate to PhD, can study or work abroad as part of their degree. Usually this is undertaken through our Student Exchange Programme, managed by the Erasmus and Exchanges Office and most students are able to receive an Erasmus grant for the visit. Exchange Study visits can only take place at our approved HEI exchange partners. These are listed on the Exchange Office pages on the intranet. Work placement visits do not need to be located at an Exchange Partner, but if the student is eligible and is visiting an eligible country, they may also be entitled to receive an Erasmus grant. International students, as well as UK/EEA students, are also usually entitled to receive an Erasmus grant.
Generally speaking, undergraduate students can go on exchange during the 2nd year of 3-year programmes or in the 3rd year of 4-year programmes. Postgraduate students should discuss the timing of their exchange with their Programme Leader or Director of Studies. Whilst on exchange students earn the necessary amount of credits and grades towards their degree. These will be converted into Middlesex credits and grades on return. Students do not lose any time when going on exchange, but graduate within the regular time frame. There are a few programmes where exchange or placement options are not supported.
Students can only go on exchange with the explicit approval of their Programme Leader (or Director of Studies for Doctoral Students), who must also approve their choice of modules to take at the host university.
MDX receives students from our exchange partners – these usually join undergraduate programmes in the 2nd or 3rd years, or participate in postgraduate programmes.
Funding for exchanges at most of our partner universities is through the Erasmus programme and students receive an Erasmus grant while they are studying abroad. The Erasmus programme also provides grants for students undertaking work placements abroad as part of their degree, but only in selected countries.
If going on a full year exchange, UK/EEA students pay a reduced tuition fee to Middlesex University; otherwise, students pay the normal tuition fee to MDX. No tuition fee is paid to the partner university. The students will continue to receive their regular grants and loans from Student Finance England. International students pay the full fee to Middlesex as usual.
Students may also spend a year at one of our overseas campuses (programme permitting).
