Engineering

The information in this section applies to students from the following departments:

Biochemical Engineering Chemical Engineering Civil, Environmental & Geomatic Engineering Computer Science Electronic & Electrical Engineering Management Science & Innovation Mechanical Engineering

In order to study abroad you must be registered for, or transfer to, a four-year degree programme which allows for a year to be spent abroad.

The period of study abroad will be one year and it will take place during the third year of your four-year programme (NB. for Biochemical and Chemical Engineering students, the year abroad takes place during the fourth year of your four-year programme).

Information Sessions

The Study Abroad Team will organise information sessions during the autumn term for students who are interested in studying abroad. At these sessions you will be presented with information about the benefits of studying abroad and the opportunities open to you as a UCL student. You will also have the opportunity to speak to members of staff from the Study Abroad Team and ask them any questions you may have about studying abroad.

Study Abroad Fair

The UCL Study Abroad Fair takes place in November each year and is a good opportunity for students to find out more about the different universities at which they could study.

Students attending the fair will have the opportunity to view prospectuses and other information from UCL's partner universities, speak to UCL students who have recently returned from a period of study abroad, and meet exchange students from UCL's partner universities who are currently studying at UCL.
