Studying abroad has to be one of the most exciting opportunities available to you while at University. It's an experience you'll remember for the rest of your life.
International experiences
We offer a range of international experiences for both Worcester students and overseas students.
Our students have the opportunity to study abroad for a year, a semester or take part in an international exchange as part of their degree.
Overseas students from partner universities are welcome to study in Worcester as part of a study abroad, exchange or summer school to gain international experience in a UK university.

James Dunn – History - Nagoya Foreign Studies University Japan
"Whatever your degree or goals after university are, studying abroad is an opportunity which no student should miss out on. It may seem like a daunting prospect at first, travelling so far into uncertainty, and I felt the same way going to Japan. But trust me when I say that you won't regret it!
You'll meet so many people, form lifelong friendships, experience incredible sights, eat delicious food... I could go on! I honestly cannot recommend studying abroad enough! You'll grow so much as a person! So, my advice would be to go for it! Take a chance, and I look forward to seeing your photos!"
