Anyone who has studied in a foreign country will tell you that it was a defining moment in their life. This experience offers you the chance to travel to exciting destinations, gain perspective on another culture, make lifelong friends and enhance your career prospects. During your time abroad, you will learn more about yourself than you ever thought possible.

What students say about their study abroad experience :

“Imagine, meeting people from all around the world that are having the same goals as you do, simply to experience the culture of the city, to party and to travel… Those people became my second family in no time. We were great support for each other over the next half a year. We were looking after one another, organising trips and spending holidays such as Easter together. Although we only knew each other for a few months, we experienced a lot together and I can definitely call some of those people friends for life.” Urszula Nowicka

Westminster Business School offers both a semester and a year exchange programme.

Semester Exchange is offered to level 4 students only. Students apply during their first year and go on exchange in semester 2, level 5. The semester exchange programme fits into to all 3-year degree programmes except Accounting/Finance with Management.

Year Exchange is offered to level 5 students only. Students apply during their first year and go on exchange at the end of level 5 and return to complete their final year. The year exchange programme acts as a sandwich year and extends your degree to four years.

The year exchange programme is open to all degree programmes.
