Congratulations on being accepted for Study Abroad! Now it's time to plan the details, like where you'll stay, organising your visa and applying for your student loan.
Find out more about how to apply for your student loan, plus other important financial considerations
Make sure you have the right insurance. For some countries and universities you must purchase a local health insurance policy on top of your University of Leeds insurance, plus any top-up cover you may choose to buy.
Each parent school has a dedicated academic who will be able to advise you on different aspects of your year abroad.
Improving your language skills and fluency is one of the benefits of study abroad, but be prepared to put in some work before you go and once you have arrived.
You will need to find your accommodation abroad yourself, but there are several resources that can help you.
We run a series of events throughout the year to help you prepare to apply and get ready for your study abroad year, as well as events for students after they have returned to Leeds.
Students who withdraw from the study abroad programme may be subject to a charge.
This agreement explains the actions and responsibilities you, your School and the Study Abroad Team agree to.
Check and obtain the necessary visa documentation for your host country as soon as possible, so that your arrival isn't delayed.
