DESTINATIONS

Different types of study abroad programme offer different destinations.

Use the map to explore each partner institution.

Please note that school destinations are added when you choose a faculty.

We have over 300 university exchange partners with many of the world's top-ranking institutions across 6 continents. 

Students from all schools allowing study abroad can apply for a place at an Open Exchange partner. Most of these universities teach across a wide range of subject areas, but some will have limitations and won't offer programmes that match all Leeds degrees. Some are specialist institutions, such as Georgia Institute of Technology.

Make sure to research these universities before you apply to make sure they teach subjects related to your degree.

Please note that we can’t guarantee that all of our partner universities will be available to apply for every year. Current students must check the Global Opportunities SharePoint Site for the latest destination-specific information and advice, including any language requirements, academic restrictions and student feedback.

Each teaching school at the University of Leeds has its own departmental exchanges that are open only to students studying in that school (both single and joint honours). These universities have been chosen as exchange partners because they are particularly strong in the relevant academic area.

The Horizon year abroad focuses on developing your linguistic and cultural understanding of your host country. It’s still academically rigorous, but you’re not limited to taking modules in your degree subject.

You’ll be required to complete a compulsory 20-credit Leeds module on intercultural communication and global citizenship, and are encouraged to take 20 credits learning the local language at beginners level. You’ll select your remaining credit load from a selection of modules taught in English at the host university, which don’t have to be in your main degree subject.
