Do your research
Studying abroad requires careful consideration, commitment, and planning. Read through the information for outgoing students on our website. You will need to:
- Check where and when you can study abroad with your course
- Research and compare partner institutions
You will need to make an appointment with your York St John Disability Practitioner or Wellbeing Adviser, if applicable. They can discuss your options for support abroad.
