As a School of Management student, you will either already be enrolled on a programme which includes a year abroad or if not, you have the option to transfer from your three-year degree scheme onto a four-year course which includes a year abroad during YEAR ONE ONLY. Students cannot transfer in Year 2 but may have the option to join a waiting list.
The following partner universities are suitable for School of Management students on eligible programmes. However, not all options will be available annually so please be prepared to be flexible! Enrolment on a programme with a year abroad does not guarantee you a year abroad placement. Spaces are limited and subject to a competitive selection process. In the event you do not secure a year abroad placement, you will be transferred to the standard variant of your degree scheme without a year abroad.
