Find out which student exchange partners you can apply to as part of your degree
Use the links below to explore partner university webpages.
Most partners will produce a yearly Fact Sheet, which provides an overview of their exchange programme.
Make sure you are considering:
- the language of instruction before applying - always check this on the partner webpages as teaching formats can change often
- how many credits or modules you'll need to take and what this means for contact hours
- different teaching styles and workload - partner institutions will differ compared to Newcastle, make sure you know what's expected of you
- your life outside of university, for example accommodation options, access to public transport, cost of living, local norms and rules
If you have any questions about particular partners, you can reach out to them directly as well as speak to the GO team.
When Natural and Environmental Sciences students can study abroad
Chemistry students can study at one of our exchange partners after Stage 2. You will be assessed on the basis of a research project that you conduct while overseas. You will also take distance learning modules in advanced organic and inorganic chemistry.
All other students in the School can study at one of our exchange partners for a full academic year:
- between Stages 2 and 3 of a three-year programme
- between Stages 3 and 4 of a four-year integrated Masters programme
For all students, a year abroad will make your degree one year longer.
