If you are interested in travelling whilst you study, there are options to study overseas with our partner universities. By choosing this course you'll have the option to take advantage of this exciting opportunity, giving you the chance to not only experience new cultures and visit exciting destinations, but also to expand your learning experience. The length of a study abroad placement would be confirmed by your School or Department.

Studying abroad allows you to get ahead in the job market by gaining an international perspective and improving your ability to establish relations with people from different cultural backgrounds. Your time abroad will help you to establish an international network of friends and students return to Loughborough with a new and different study outlook, coloured by their experiences whilst away.

Additional award
