Destinations
The School of Social Sciences and Philosophy has exchange partnerships with universities across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. Browse the destinations available for your subject area below and find the exchange that is right for you.
Finding Your Destination
The destinations listed below are organised by subject area. Eligibilities are intended as a guide only. The number of places at each university is limited and your first preference cannot always be guaranteed. Before making your decision, take time to research each destination carefully, considering the language of instruction, the modules available, and how the exchange fits your degree requirements.
If you have questions about specific destinations or are unsure which exchanges are open to your programme, your exchange coordinator is your best point of contact.
