Study abroad
Studying abroad as part of your degree is a fantastic way to differentiate you from the rest. More and more employers now actively seek students with international experience of studying abroad - what a great opportunity to travel and see the world whilst broadening your academic horizons.
What is Study Abroad?
Study Abroad is an exchange programme which lasts for one semester at one of our partner universities outside the EU. You will have the opportunity to obtain credits which are then recognised by BCU. Visit the Where can I go? page for more information on our exchange destinations.
We have exchange opportunities in the USA, Mexico, Australia, South Korea and many more! Please note that your academic study pathway will determine these destinations.

FCO travel advice for students and staff.
Current FCO guidance advises British nationals against all but essential international travel. Some countries and territories are exempt, as they no longer present an unacceptably high risk to people travelling abroad. After careful consideration, BCU has taken the decision to pause all incoming and outgoing mobilities until semester two. This decision will be reviewed in October to ensure the safety of our staff and students.
If you find yourself in a position where you cannot return to the UK due to coronavirus, please follow the government guidance.
