INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS

The Study Abroad Handbook for 2013-14 is now available to download from the Documents and Forms section of the website. All students due to go abroad in 2013/14 should receive a paper copy from their Study Abroad Tutor at the start of the summer term. It is important that you read and understand the information contained in the document as it may be crucial to you while you are away.

Just a quick reminder that we are holding a drop-in session for any questions regarding your year abroad on Wednesday 10 April from 1pm-4pm in Chadwick G01. Please just drop in whenever is convenient and we'll help you with any concerns or questions you may have.

The Preparation for Study Abroad Moodle course is now available for enrolment. All students due to go abroad in 2013/14 are required to complete this course before the deadline of 26 April 2013. If you have not received an email containing the enrolment key, please email us.

We are pleased to advise that applications for the Study Abroad Bursary Application are now open. Applicaiton forms are available to collect from the Student Centre (Chadwick Building) between their opening hours (10am-4pm). The deadline for them to be handed in (by hand to the Student Centre) is 4pm on 26 April 2013.

If you are due to go away on your year abroad placement next year, it's time to start thinking about your visa requirements. The first place to look is your host university's website - their guidelines will be aimed specifically at students joining them and may include arrangements specific to that institution.
