Summer abroad opportunities are a fantastic way to gain cultural and international experience in addition to your studies. Programmes typically range from 2 - 9 weeks and provide you with the chance to gain cultural, volunteering and/or academic experience in another country. Generous funding is available via the Turing or Taith programmes to cover some of the associated costs and additional support is available for any students who meet widening participation criteria. Funding is limited and applications are reviewed on a first come, first served basis.

All programmes are offered subject to full travel approval. Students will be required to complete the university’s International Travel Approval process in order to participate in summer programmes and receive any associated funding. Swansea University’s travel cover is in place for students whose travel plans have been approved by the university. 

Please note, students need to be enrolled at Swansea University throughout the entire summer programme period therefore final year students and exchange students are not eligible for these programmes.

A range of programmes are available offering a variety of summer abroad options.

Also planned for Summer 2026....
