Erasmus+ study and international exchange
The University of Surrey is a welcoming and supportive place to come to as an Erasmus or international exchange student, and we seek to provide an outstanding experience for all students.
How it works
Depending on whether your home institution has a subject-specific or university-wide exchange or study abroad agreement with us, you may study one or more subjects with us. Exchange students from our partner universities do not pay tuition fees.

What you can study
Undergraduate exchange students can choose modules from our undergraduate degree programmes and Master's-level students from our postgraduate degree programmes.
Courses at Surrey are called ‘modules’ and most of our modules are worth 15 Surrey credits / 7.5 ECTS credits (equivalent to 3 USA credits). You will need to take 4 modules / 30 ECTS credits per semester.
Our Programme and Module Catalogue provides detailed descriptions of each degree programme and the modules that we offer.
