Keele International: Study Abroad

Explore this Section

Studying abroad is a step beyond the ordinary "student experience". Students who study abroad gain not only academic advantages by spending time at another university during their degree, they also enhance their employability at the end of their degree.

If you combine these advantages with the personal development, cultural exposure, travel opportunities and friendships you'll gain as well as the fun you'll have, you can see why over 90 students are spending a semester abroad this year.

The semester of study abroad is a replacement semester, it contributes to your degree in an integral way. You replace a semester at Keele with a semester at one of Keele's partner universities. This means that all modules taken abroad count towards your degree in the same way as modules taken at Keele during your second year.

A recent poll by the British Council found that only 21% of the 2,100 adults who took part in an online survey had lived abroad for six months or more. Of the remaining 79%, more than a third said they thought they would have had better job prospects had they done so.

This is YOUR opportunity to enhance your experience at Keele in a truly life-changing way!
