Broadening your horizons: study abroad Studying abroad through our exchange programmes can be one of the most exciting and rewarding challenges for a student to experience. The opportunity to travel and live in another country, learn different customs and traditions, meet new people and build a future career, draws many students into the exchange programmes. With great links across the world, you can choose to study part of your QMU degree in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA or Hong Kong. Living in another country, and studying at another institution, will allow you to make new friends from across the world and acquire invaluable life skills. Importantly, it will also help you develop a greater feeling of independence and confidence. Not only does an exchange programme allow you to stretch your wings, it will undoubtedly bring you benefits for years to come. Where exchanges are available, students can spend a semester at an overseas university. Care has been taken to select appropriate international partnerships, ensuring that a period spent on exchange gives QMU students credit towards their studies. A number of scholarships up to the value of £5,000 exist to help fund study abroad for students facing financial difficulties. Please note that exchange opportunities are subject to availability. In addition, please note that where exchange opportunities are arranged in the EU, Erasmus+ funding is available subject to the UK remaining in the Erasmus+ scheme. 18 QMU courses which offer an exchange include: • BA/ BA (Hons) Business Management • BA/ BA (Hons) Drama • BA/ BA (Hons) Events and Festival Management • BA/ BA (Hons) Film and Media • BA/ BA (Hons) International Hospitality & Tourism Management • BA/ BA (Hons) Media and Communications • BSc/ BSc (Hons) Nutrition • BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy • BSc/ BSc (Hons) Psychology • BSc/ BSc (Hons) Psychology & Sociology • BSc/ BSc (Hons) Public Sociology • BA/ BA (Hons) Public Relations and Marketing Communications • BA/ BA (Hons) Theatre and Film MORE INFO E: [email protected] W: www.qmu.ac.uk/study-here/ international-students/exchanges-and- study-abroad/
