My year abroad in Belgium has been a great experience. I made new friends from all over the world and was able to travel throughout Belgium. The Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and France are all within close distance so there are no limits when it comes to exploring! My student experience at both universities could not have been better.

What a great opportunity it was to take the Extended Master’s which has enabled me to study abroad at the Bush School Texas A&M. It has been an incredible experience as the Bush School boasts one of the best International Relations courses in American public schools. Not only has this opportunity furthered my career opportunities but it has allowed me to study my course from a different perspective. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my course and I am so glad I chose to further my study here at Swansea University.
There are a range of funding opportunities available to support students who choose
to go abroad – please refer to our website for the latest information:
