Study Abroad opportunities for students studying in the Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences for 2024-25.

The number of exchange places available at each of our partner institutions is negotiated on an annual basis, which means that it does fluctuate. Changes can be made to exchange numbers, or agreements can be pulled altogether, with very little notice. Please do remember this when you're thinking about your exchange options and remember - the key to becoming a Global Citizen is to have an open mind! Due to the UK’s departure from the Erasmus programme, arrangements with some of our partners are still in progress

If you have questions about the universities you are interested in, please open an enquiry via askUCL. Our partners kindly ask that you do not contact them directly.
