YEAR ABROAD

Studying abroad for a year is an opportunity to experience new cultures, meet people from around the world and develop a global mindset in preparation for your future career. The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has a number of international partner institutions where students can study for a full academic year. Destinations may include the North Americas, Europe or East and South East Asia. Our Year Abroad degrees are four-year degree programmes, where your third year is spent studying abroad. During your year abroad, you will pay a reduced tuition fee of 15% of the standard Swansea University fees and no tuition fees are payable to the host university. Funding opportunities are also available from the Go Global team.

Please note, enrolment on a programme with a year abroad does not guarantee you a year abroad placement. In the event you do not secure a placement, you will be transferred to the standard variant of your degree scheme without a year abroad.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A YEAR ABROAD? Employers value graduates with international experience. Being able to adapt to new surroundings and learning important life skills while studying abroad could put you ahead of the competition when you graduate. Developing cultural awareness Independence Language development Preparation for international work Professional and personal development Studying abroad is a valuable addition to your CV Studying in a location known as a leading hub in your field of interest

I spent a year studying in Madrid. Simply put it was the best year of my life, due to the broad variety of experiences, which developed me as a person. The incredible times I had in Madrid are uncountable. From witnessing the picturesque coast of San Sebastián, to celebrating my 21st birthday with new friends I will cherish for life, or even having something as incredible as Park de Oeste on my doorstep. These are memories I will never forget.
