Study abroad
We run an extensive international exchange programme with a vast number of partner universities across the globe. The programme provides an excellent opportunity for School of Law students to study abroad and students from our partner universities to study at the University of 91̽»¨.
Our programme is one of the biggest and best in the country. We send a large number of our students abroad each year and welcome visiting exchange students to 91̽»¨.
All of our undergraduate students have the opportunity to study abroad for a year as part of their course.
For LLB Law (European and International), a year abroad is a compulsory part of the degree: study law abroad in English, and you'll be given priority for destination choice from any one of our partner institutions.
If you study LLB Law, LLB Law and Criminology or BA Criminology you can apply during your second year to study abroad in your third year, returning to complete your degree at 91̽»¨ in year four.
You don't have to decide right now, and there are always plenty of destinations to go to. Once you begin your studies with us you'll be invited to attend our study abroad information sessions.
