Find out which student exchange partners you can apply to as part of your degree

You can apply to up to five exchange programmes. Some countries are more popular than others, so try to select alternative options from different countries. Some partner universities have limited places, often one or two, so use all five of your application choices and be prepared not to get your first choice.

We keep our exchange partner information as up to date as possible, but sometimes changes happen at short notice. 

It's important that you research the universities you're interested in. Don’t rule out locations you may not have heard of - there are some hidden gems on our lists.
