Students who have studied abroad demonstrate initiative, independence, motivation and, depending on where they stay, may also have gained a working knowledge of another language - all qualities employers are looking for.

We have links with major universities in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland. You can find a complete list of International Exchange partner universities on the Study Abroad website.

The Study Abroad option allows you to study at an overseas university in your third year, earning credits towards your final degree while also gaining vital experience and employability skills.

Yes: all assessments during the year abroad are undertaken at the host university and count towards your final degree.

Upon return to the University of Exeter, you will then complete the final year of your degree in a fourth year.

If you spend a full academic year studying abroad you will pay a reduced fee for that year. You can find out more information in the fees section.

There is no need to apply direct to this programme: apply via UCAS for BSc Exercise and Sport Sciences, and you can transfer onto the four-year programme with Study Abroad once you are at Exeter.

For further information on where you can go and all the issues surrounding study abroad, see the Study Abroad website.
