Studying and Working Abroad
Studying abroad offers multiple new perspectives. First there are the academic benefits, as the host institution will offer a different spectrum of courses and research focuses from our own University and department. Then, for students living and studying in an English-speaking environment, there is the language bonus. And perhaps most important of all is the first-hand encounter with another culture - and the personal growth that results from living and studying in a different cultural and linguistic environment.
When going abroad there are a number of decisions to take and questions to ask; these might include the following. :
- Do you primarily want to study a specific field? With a special teacher?
- Would you like to have first hand experience of other universities?
- Which language do you want to use in every day situations?
- How do you fund your stay abroad?
- How long do you want to stay abroad?
- Which country do you want to go to?
- Will the credits you receive abroad be recognized at home?
This page addresses some of those questions, loosely structured by areas where we have established partnerships or where international exchange programmes are available. The Erasmus programme is funded by the European Union and we cooperate with different institutions in various European countries under this umbrella. In the USA we can support students as a ISEP member organization. Australia may also be of interest to some. We provide information for those who want to work in the UK or Ireland as well as for those who wish to teach in Europe or North America.
