During your Study Abroad year

Once you know you'll be studying abroad, you'll need to arrange accommodation, insurance, visas, proof of your finances and maybe some foreign language studies.

Being accepted for Study Abroad is an exciting time but make sure you have done all the necessary preparation and planning before you go.

Emergency situations

If you have an emergency overseas please get in touch with the University of Leeds as soon as possible.

Wellbeing abroad

We want you to stay safe and have a rewarding experience, wherever you are going in the world! Living abroad means adapting to a new environment, new lifestyle, new culture, as with any form of travel these things can affect your health and safety.

Study Abroad academic requirements and support

Each parent school has a dedicated academic who will be able to advise you on different aspects of your year abroad. 

Feedback about your study abroad year

The feedback questionnaire is your chance to tell us how you’re getting on and pass on any tips to future students.

The study abroad photo competition is open to Leeds students who have studied abroad for a semester or year during the previous academic year, and also students who have attended a summer school programme.
