USA

The University has established strong partnerships with 2 universities in the US. An increasing number of students are taking advantage of the opportunity to undertake accredited study for a semester at one of the University's 2 American partners - Mercer and Valdosta State University that are both located in Georgia.

Our students have the opportunity to spend time studying at these institutions as part of their degree, providing them with an invaluable experience.

The study usually occurs in Year 3 for undergraduate and for one semester. Postgraduate and research students can also apply.

University Wide

The opportunity is open to students of all subjects, and we can help tailor your study to ensure you receive full academic credit for your period of study in the US.

Accommodation is provided by the institutions and is usually in halls of residence.

Finance

Students can apply for finance to assist them with travel and living expenses whilst in the US.
