Academic Development Opportunities

This page lists short international experiences aimed at supporting your academic development, including summer schools, research and study placements.

These short international experiences can work around your degree, either taking place during vacations or during term time without extending your course length.

• Spotlighted opportunities are those we have regularly sent students to, have a wider relationship with, or which offer discount to Warwick students
• Some opportunities will require you to be nominated through us and we will run a suitable process for this - specific details will be given at the links provided
• External links provided have been brought to our attention through partner universities or by other means
• Students are personally responsible to confirm with their department that they can undertake any opportunity which overlaps term time and should only apply once this is received
• We accept no responsibility for the authenticity of opportunities listed on external websites and you should always do your due diligence. If you are unsure of any offer advertised, please seek further information before applying
