You'll get an understanding of what it’s like to study at another university. It's also a great opportunity for you to travel and embrace a new culture while studying for your degree.

As well as developing your language skills, studying in a different environment can help you improve your problem solving and communication skills, and give you a better understanding of the world. Having this kind of experience and developing these skills can make you more appealing to employers in increasingly globalised industries.

You're also 9% more likely to achieve a First or 2:1 in your degree¹ if you're a UK student and study abroad.

You can take language courses provided by the partner university where you choose to study and have the chance to make new friends from different backgrounds and cultures.

When you start studying at Bath, contact your departmental exchange coordinator to find out if you are eligible and how to apply.

Europe and the Erasmus+ Programme

We fully support the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) and currently have the same credit system in operation for our programmes. This means your qualifications will be understood both at Bath and in other European countries.

Bath has been awarded an Erasmus charter to take part in the Erasmus+ Programme which enables you to apply for funding to support your study abroad.

Funding for activity in 2019/20 is under review pending the outcome of the Brexit negotiations. We recommend students apply for funding as usual and we will be in contact with them once the situation becomes clearer.

Worldwide exchange programmes

We have exchange agreements with partner institutions in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Hong Kong, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, USA and Uruguay.
