How to apply

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 Adviser or Wellbeing Adviser, if applicable. They can discuss your options for support abroad.

Attend our Global Opportunities Fair

This year's fair takes place on Wednesday 10 November 1pm to 6pm in Temple Hall. Please keep an eye on the website and emails for more information.

Talk to us

It is essential that you meet with a Study Abroad Coordinator before you apply to discuss your options.

Book an appointment

You may also want to discuss any academic queries with your Study Abroad Academic Advisor. You can find out who your Academic Advisor is on the Study Abroad support page.
