Please apply for your student loan as you usually would, but make sure that you let them know you will be going on year abroad. You should receive the same level of loan that you have received when studying at Warwick, if not a slightly higher amount depending on the cost of living in your host country. When you apply for your student loan, enter the full amount of your tuition fee, the amount will be adjusted to the correct amount by Student Finance when you go on your year abroad. The fees for 2021/22 are the same as those in 2020/21 which are listed here: year_abroad_20-21_new2.pdf (warwick.ac.uk)

If you are travelling outside of Europe for any period of the year, ensure you tick the box on the Student Finance England documentation which indicates that you will be eligible for Turing Scheme funding.

The University of Warwick have submitted a big for Turing Scheme funding. We shall not receive the outcome of our bid until late July 2021. However if successful we shall be providing a grant to students on year abroad who are travelling outside of Europe in accordance with the grant rates set by the British Council. Whilst we cannot yet guarantee that we will receive the funding we have bid for, we have been advised that you should indicate on your Student Finance England annual renewal documentation that you may be receiving Turing funding. Students travelling to Europe will continue to receive a grant through the Erasmus+ scheme for 2021/22.

Updated 6 January 2021

If you are an EEA or Swiss national (and do not have dual nationality as a UK or Irish citizen) and are set to spend a period of time studying outside of the UK in 2020/21, if you not already done so, as you have been a UK resident since the start of your course (even if you are currently in your home country for a short visit), we recommend that you apply for ‘Settled’ or ‘Pre-settled’ status under the EU Settlement Scheme.

The official deadline for applying is 30 June 2021. The application is free and the application process is fairly straight forward, and you can find step-by-step guidance and useful information on our EEA National website.  

If you have not lived in the UK continuously for 5 years, you should receive a ‘Pre-settled’ status. There are some important information that you need to be aware if you are eligible or have received ‘Pre-settled’ status.

1. Once you receive ‘Pre-Settled’ status, you can travel in and out of the UK freely.

 2. Your ‘Pre-settled’ status is valid for 5 years from the date it is granted. It will remain valid until its stated expiry date even if you decide to leave the UK after graduation. However, if you are absent from the UK for a continuous period of 2 years since receiving this status, it will be lost.

 3. Once you have lived in the UK for a continuous period of 5 years, you can apply for ‘Settled’ status. You can apply as soon as you qualify, and you do not need to wait until the expiry date of your ‘Pre-settled’ status.

 4. If you intend to apply for ‘Settled’ status after 5 years of continuous residency in the UK, you will need to meet the residency requirement at that point. This means you can be absent from the UK for a single period of up to 12 months for the purpose of taking up your study abroad year (this is one of the accepted reasons for permitted absence). Apart from that, you cannot have further absence of more than 6 months in any given 12 months period during this 5-year period.

We hope you find this information useful and if you require any personalised advice, please contact:

https://warwick.ac.uk/study/international/immigration/ 

For existing undergraduate students entering their final year of study for the next academic year, accommodation applications have now closed. Off campus accommodation will need to be sought.

Please find out more on this webpage: Applying for accommodation (warwick.ac.uk)

Check with your department, as they may be against this. If there is competition for places they will prioritise other nationalities. This is because one of the aims of student mobility is to give students a new international experience.

In addition partner Universities may have a policy of not accepting students with home nationality on exchange.

Please note emergency medical cover through university business travel insurance only applies if you travel outside of your home country.

No, all study placements that are available to you will be shown in the list provided in the mobility tool. If you know that a particular partner placement is available but is not showing on your list, please speak to your department or contact the Student Mobility Team. Students should not be contacting any institutions to arrange placements.

If this didn't answer your question please contact us

Finances - If you were to come back would you be able to support yourself until you return to Warwick next October? [see specific FAQ regarding Erasmus+ Grants and student loans above]

Accommodation - there is the question of rent contracts that you may have to pay until the end of the year. Please check with your landlord / estate agency.

Returning – If you come back to the UK you may not be able to return to your host country

Decision making – before making a final decision, we recommend talking things over with your family/friends and seek the advice of your personal tutor/Departmental Study Abroad Coordinator

If you make the decision to leave, inform the Student Mobility Team of any changes to your destination using this short form: https://warwick.ac.uk/services/studentopportunity/studentmobility/studyabroad/forms/telluswhereyouare

Student Mobility students are covered by the University of Warwick travel insurance policy. This is not private health insurance and only provides emergency cover so supplemental insurance cover is advised. Please note emergency medical cover is not available where students are remaining in their home country. All students travelling out in 2020/21 are required to complete a risk assessment before travelling.

Insurance Surgeries are periodically run by the Insurance Services

Many partner universities will require additional Health Insurance which can vary in cost. In the USA, Canada and Australia the additional cover will be compulsory. Other countries will vary.

Students are responsible for covering all health insurance costs, and it is strongly recommended students research and purchase appropriate cover for period of their mobility.

Students are advised to visit The National Travel Health Centre Network or the Fit for Travel website at least three months before they leave. They can find country-by-country health guides with detailed information on necessary vaccinations and disease-prevention drugs, such as anti-malarials. Some immunisations or tablets need to be taken months before going, so students should make sure they visit their local GP well in advance of leaving. They can also ask their GP for medication for any long term medical conditions.

Familiarise yourself with the NHS guidance on studying abroad.

Those who wear contact lenses and glasses should also make sure they have enough back-up lenses or glasses, as it may not be as easy to get replacements in their new home.

Currently a reduced tuition fee is payable to the University of Warwick during your year abroad. You do not pay any tuition fees to your host university. Please visit the Warwick Student Finance pages for the latest tuition fee rates for study or work placements.

1. Financial impact – Student Loans and Erasmus+ grant

In the Autumn Term you will be invited to information briefing sessions about studying and working abroad. These are run by both the Student Mobility team and academic departments. At these briefings you will learn about the online application process on eVision which take place in the Autumn Term.

For Autumn Term 2020 these sessions will take place later in the term as we are working to find out from our partner universities overseas what their plans are for 2021/22.

If this didn't answer your question please contact us

Each year the Student Mobility team will provide your department with a list of available places. Your department will usually have an internal selection process for the different universities and once you have been allocated a place, the Student Mobility Team will send a nomination to the partner university with your name. Usually the partner will then communicate with you directly and will request a full application to be completed as part of the process. This can include examination results, language competency, an academic reference (for example). The final decision on your placement is with the partner institution and usually you will have confirmation around the start of the summer term onwards. It is advisable to check your email regularly as sometimes there are tight timeframes to return documents. Once you have been accepted you will then be able to finalise your arrangements and ensure you have your travel documents, insurance and accommodation arranged. You may require a Status Letter (to confirm you are a student at Warwick) and this will be sent to you automatically through an email onto your Warwick account.

If your application to the partner university is not successful then please contact the Student Mobility team as soon as you are notified. This is unusual but it can happen.

If you submitted your application for year abroad by the 4 December 2020 deadline (or later if agreed with your department), then your application is considered by your Departmental Study Abroad Coordinator. They allocate their departmental places to students and will inform you of the same. We anticipate that allocations will be completed for the vast majority of departments by mid-January 2021. If you have been allocated a place, this will be updated on your eVision portal.

Once departmental allocations have been completed then the Study Abroad team will arrange to nominate you to your allocated university. We may be in touch if we require any additional information from you at this stage. Please note that every university has different nomination deadlines therefore the team will be in touch with students attending universities with the earliest deadlines first. Some deadlines are not until Easter-time so do not be alarmed if your status on eVision does not change to 'nominated' for a while.

Following nomination we shall hear back from host universities whether they have accepted your nomination. If not then we shall come back to you and your Departmental Study Abroad Coordinator to discuss whether there are any other locations with later nomination deadlines that you may like to be nominated to instead.

If your nomination is accepted, then you shall need to complete your host university's application process. A member of the Study Abroad team will be in touch with you to provide instructions and deadlines on what is needed.

*Please ensure that you regularly check your university email account to ensure that you do not miss any deadlines as these are set by host universities, not us, and if missed you may lose your place.*

The Partner University will contact you directly. It is therefore important that you check your emails on a regular basis. Please do not contact the Partner Universities to check on the progress on your application. If there are any concerns please contact the Student Mobility Team.

Once you have been accepted on your placement, please ensure you follow the instructions set out by the Partner and provide them with the relevant details. If you are unsure, please seek assistance from your department or from the Student Mobility Team.

Following the announcement made by President Macron yesterday that teaching would be moving to online with effect from next week, and will continue to be online after the Spring vacation, you may not have heard from your school how this will impact you. Please do get your completion form signed off by your school as soon as possible, it is much harder to get this when you have returned home.

1. if you chose to return home earlier than expected then we will be able to pay your grant for the actual time that you spend in country, at your school – this will mean that your final 30% will be reduced by the days you are not in country, this may in some cases mean that you will have to repay as small amount (this is unlikely unless you have only recently been able to go to your placement)
2. if you chose to remain in country working remotely we will be able to pay your grant for the actual duration of your contract/placement
3. if your school decides that in the circumstances they are going to end your contract early, you are still entitled for a grant for the time that you have completed, but as in point 1 you will receive a lower final payment than expected or may have to re-pay a small amount (this is unlikely unless you have only recently been able to go to your placement)

You will not have to repay the whole of the grant that you have received unless you have been on placement for less than 2 months.

Please upload your remaining documents to e-vision as soon as possible.

Added 13 April 2021

For module selection/credit loading queries, please contact your Departmental Study Abroad Coordinator as decisions about what you have to study whilst at your host university are decided by your department. Before emailing your coordinator please check whether you can find the information you require in your Departmental Study Abroad handbook.

Learning Agreements: You may have been asked to complete a learning agreements for your host application. This needs to be signed off by you and your academic co-ordinator. Remember this list is what you are planning now and will probably change when you arrive and you return your arrival plan, again this is about modules and must be signed off by you, your academic co-ordinator and your host.

Currently, only Bocconi and Tokyo do not sign placement forms. We are aware of this and we will endeavour to obtain details from other sources. If you receive a standard request for information please do not worry as we will manually update your record.

For other institutions if you have any difficulty getting your forms signed please speak to the Student Mobility Team who will assist you.

Confirmation of Placement

Universities will be moving to online teaching, so there is no obligation for you to stay in country; you can return home if you want and do online learning from there.

Schools are remaining open and your contractual obligations with your school(s) / college / lycee mean that you will be expected to stay in country to go to work and teach classes.

You need to check with your line manager whether you are allowed to do remote working or not; but again you do have contractual obligations and if they do not offer remote working, then you will be expected to stay in your host country.

New guidance has been received on 5 October 2020.

Summary:

Tier 4 sponsors can continue to sponsor students who are continuing studies through distance learning, whether in the UK or another country.

If a student stops engaging with their distance learning for more than 30 days, whether overseas or in the UK, their sponsor must withdraw sponsorship.

Speak to your department to confirm what actions are required by you to meet engagement requirements.

Updated 7 July 2020

Students who are intending to spend either a term or a full-year on a student mobility programme for 202021 will be charged the standard 15% of the relevant fee as set out in Fees for Year Abroad students for 2020/2021

This will apply if due to the Covid-19 restrictions you are now spending part of your planned year at Warwick, distance learning with a partner university, or engaged with an internship programme at a business.

If your circumstances change and you revert to a three year degree, the standard relevant undergraduate fee will apply.

Students who take part in year abroad are eligible for a reduced tuition fee. You will only pay the reduced tuition fee to Warwick, and no tuition fee to your host. In 2021/22 Warwick will be charging the standard 15% of the relevant fee. Fees have not yet been set for students going out in 2021/22 but to give an indication please see Fees for Year Abroad students for 2020/2021. You can apply for your student loan as normal to cover this tuition fee.

It is advised that you apply for your standard tuition fee loan amount (e.g. £9,250 or equivalent) in your Student Finance application. You will only be charged the reduced fee if you go on your year abroad. By applying for the higher amount then if for any reason you decide to withdraw from study abroad and return to Warwick then there is no issue with having to apply to increase your loan amount.

Warwick has bid for funding through the Turing Scheme to provide financial support to students travelling outside of Europe on their year abroad in 2021/22 as well as to support students undertaking a range of short term programmes of more than 4 weeks in duration during Summer 2022.

We await the outcome of the bid in July/August. As soon as we hear the outcome we will update students and departments. There is no action required by students in relation to the Turing scheme before Warwick receives the outcome of the bid.

If you wish to find out more about the Turing scheme, you can do so here: Turing Scheme | UK's Global Programme to Study & Work Abroad | Home (turing-scheme.org.uk)

Students travelling on their year abroad to Europe who meet the placement duration requirements (3 full months study placement or 2 full months work placement) will receive an Erasmus+ grant.

It is hoped that students on their year abroad travelling outside of Europe will be eligible for a grant through the Turing Scheme. However this is not guaranteed. The university will not receive the outcome of the Turing Scheme bid until July/August. Once the outcome is received we shall confirm whether this funding is available.

The cost of Covid tests, if required for outbound or inbound travel when going on study abroad, are to be met by students. Unfortunately Warwick are unable to provide additional funding support with these costs.

Updated 6 January 2021

Firstly, talk to your employer / host university. This is pan-European issue, and one that is constantly changing, so your employer / institution will not be surprised that you are contacting them about this. In both cases, you could ask whether it is possible for you to work / study remotely in the short term. 

Secondly, talk to your travel provider. Given the travel ban that currently exists, they will need to explain to you what your options are in terms of transferring tickets, etc.  

Your department’s guidelines will offer advice on what level of proficiency in the language of your destination is recommended and why. We strongly advise you to reach the minimum competency level in the language of your destination.

You cannot assume that everyone will speak English. Your study abroad placement is much more than studying. You will be immersing yourself in a different environment and culture, which will enhance your experience abroad.

Your language level must meet the required level before you leave for your placement. When you submit your application, you may not be at the right level but do not worry you have some time to improve your skills. Please seek further advice and guidance from either your department or the Language Centre.

Please look at the wellbeing pages and remember that you have access to all of the support mechanisms available at Warwick including the Big White Wall and Wellbeing Services. Your Student Handbook which is available on the Student Mobility webpage is also a good source of support.

Please note all students are only covered for emergency health cover under the University Business Travel Insurance policy, not travel repatriation costs due to Covid-19. A link to the university policy is here

It is strongly advised that students purchase insurance to provide non-emergency health cover etc.

The University cannot legally give students advice on the purchase of a policy, however they should particularly check the following when purchasing insurance but note this is not an exhaustive list:-

1. - The policy is in your correct name.

2. - It covers all of the countries you intend to travel to.

3. - It covers the period of travel of when you leave the UK (or your home country if that is the starting point) until you return to the UK (or home country).

4. - Pre-existing medical conditions have been declared to the insurer and accepted by them.

5. - The limit of cover for medical expenses is sufficient for the country visited bearing in mind the cost of treatment in that country.

6. - Repatriation is covered for all medical conditions.

7. - There are no onerous conditions or exclusions. Covid-19 related curtailment or cancellation is likely to be a standard exclusion.

8. - The policy covers personal liability.

9. - You have read carefully and can accept the conditions contained within the declaration.

All students undertaking a placement in Europe on their year abroad are eligible for an Erasmus+ grant as long as they meet the duration requirements (study placement lasting a minimum of 3 months, or a work placement lasting a minimum of 2 months). Information about documentation required in order to receive an Erasmus+ grant will be shared with students during pre-departure briefings in the Summer Term. Full instructions will be provided in advance of your departure by the Student Mobility Team. You will need to submit your Student Protocol, Grant Agreement and Risk Assessment before departing.

Information on the process and required documentation can be found here: Student Mobility FORMS (warwick.ac.uk)

We have long-standing exchange programmes with prestigious universities in more than 40 countries around the world, located in Europe, North America, South America, Australasia and East Asia. Most agreements are with specific departments, but there are also university-wide opportunities.

All opportunities are subject to annual confirmation and availability. The availability of places will vary on an annual basis and each year your department will be provided with an updated list of universities where you are able to study.

You may require a visa to study or work in your destination country for your placement. It is your responsibility to ensure you obtain the correct immigration permission for your placement in good time to begin your placement.

Use the list of foreign embassies in the UK to find the website for the UK-based embassy of the country where you will be studying. The embassy's website will tell you whether people of your nationality need to apply for a visa in order to study there. The UK Government publishes a list of all foreign Embassies and High Commissions in the UK. The London Diplomatic List contains the addresses and contact details of all Embassies and High Commissions in London. They also have a list of Consular Offices outside London in cities such as Edinburgh, Cardiff, Manchester and Birmingham.

You should also seek guidance from your host university or employer, who will be able to issue any documentation you require and guide you through the process of obtaining appropriate visa documentation for your purpose of travel. Your host university will have advice and guidance on applying for visas.
