Undergraduate courses with study and work abroad opportunities
Nearly all undergraduate students at Surrey have the opportunity of spending a semester or a year abroad at one of our world-wide partners.
What you do, and how you structure this year partly depends on your degree subject and requirements, but also on what you want to do during this year.

How it works
The International Exchange Programme enables you to study abroad while earning credits (but not grades in most cases) that contribute towards your Surrey degree. Students on exchange pay no additional tuition fees to the partner university and pay a reduced fee to Surrey if they study or work abroad for the whole of their second year of undergraduate studies or during their Professional Training year.
Students apply for an exchange between November-January of their first or second year (depending on their degree programme) and typically go on exchange in their second year or Professional Training Year, spending one or two semesters at their chosen university.
Exclusions
There are some courses for which students may be unable to study abroad as part of their degree programme; however other opportunities may be available such as working abroad, summer schools, internships and volunteering.
Language support
All our students have the opportunity to enrol on the University's free Global Graduate Award in Languages course.
Students studying in Europe will be given access to the European Commission’s online language course (OLS) as part of Erasmus+.
Funding opportunities
Surrey students can receive international mobility grants and scholarships for student exchanges, PTY, clinical nursing placements, veterinary EMS placements and summer programmes.
