What's on offer?

Queen’s encourages students to take advantage of a period of study at an overseas university or an international work placement as part of their degree.

Some degrees (especially those with a language element) include a compulsory year abroad.

These are generally four-year courses, during which you will spend a year either studying at a partner university or on work placement with an employer. Many other degrees offer the option of participating in a study exchange scheme for one or two semesters, usually in your second year.

The ‘semester abroad’ option will allow you to graduate within the usual three years. There are also lots of summer options available, when a longer period abroad is not possible.

Studying or working abroad will enhance your employability, broaden your cultural awareness and boost your self-confidence and resilience.
