Please note that we are a team of 5 people running year abroad, with over 1300 exchange students, therefore we would be grateful if you can come on to MS Teams sessions and review the Frequently Asked Questions section of the Study Abroad website in the first instance before emailing us for the most efficient answer to your query.
YEAR ABROAD 24/25 - Pre-departure meeting slides and important info
Slides we went through in pre-departure presentations are here along with all of the required links. (see below)
A few key points to remember:
- We will contact you through your Warwick email before and during your year abroad. Please check this regularly.
- You will be required to confirm your arrival at your host destination within 24 hours. We will be in touch with instructions on how to do this.
- If you have any additional support needs or anything the host should be aware of to ensure you have the required support in place, please reach out to the host or Student Mobility team so we can liaise with the host on your behalf and let us know. Unless you disclose something directly to us, we will not know as this information is not shared between different departments at Warwick.
- We are keen to raise the profile of Warwick at our partner universities. We have a limited number of t-shirts available that we would love it if you could wear whilst on campus when you are away.
- These were unfortunately only received in time for the second pre-departure meeting, but if you would like one, they will be available for collection from the front desk in the Student Opportunity hub from 2pm on Tuesday 21 May. We only have a limited supply so once they are gone, they are gone!
- If you need to contact the Student Mobility Team before or during your placement, please join one of our weekday online drop in sessions. Links and details of timings are on the front page of the Student Mobility Website
- If you would like to be connected with students travelling to your host country, please complete the short form (see link below) . We will connect you over your Warwick email.
- Frequently asked questions, with answers, from the pre-departure briefings have been summarised in the attached document.
Best of luck with your final arrangements for your year abroad and have an incredible time
