Study abroad during your School of Management undergraduate degree

Boost your employability by spending a semester at another top business school through our International Academic Exchange Programme.

Our International Academic Exchange Programme lets you spend time at one of many top business schools around the world.

The programme is optional on these courses:

Studying abroad is an invaluable experience. As well as spending time learning about another culture, you’ll also:

experience education from a different perspective and broaden your horizons
develop your international business knowledge and study your subject in a different context
enhance your CV and employability
improve your language skills (IMML courses)
expand your global network

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity helped me to build long-lasting connections far and wide. It also helped me appreciate the importance of diversity of different cultures.
