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.
