Study Abroad

Extend Your Horizons. Broaden Your Mind. See the World Differently.

We have long-standing agreements with prestigious universities around the world, which means you can apply to spend a year of your studies abroad. This is a competitive process, but placements are available through all three departments. So while places are given only to suitable candidates, there are a lot of different opportunities available. Each year roughly 20% of PPE students from a cohort study abroad.

Intercalated: Adding a Year to Your Degree

An intercalated year will add one year to your degree programme and you will go abroad between your second and final years of study. The grades obtained do not count directly towards your final degree, but if you pass the year then your degree certificate will show “with intercalated year". All three departments have placements across the globe. There are also opportunities for a year out on work placement or an internship either as part of your degree or as a voluntary year out.

Partners change regularly, but placements available to our students in recent years have included:

Australia: Monash University, Melbourne (with potential to spend half year in Monash Selangor, Malaysia)

Americas: McMaster University, Ontario; Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC Chile)

Hong Kong: City University of Hong Kong; Hong Kong University; Chinese University of Hong Kong

China: Renmin University; Tsinghua University; Xiamen University

Japan: Hokkaido University; Keio University; Kyoto University; Nagoya University; Waseda University

Singapore: National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University; Singapore Management University

South Korea: Seoul National University

Europe: Multiple institutions in countries including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden
