Study abroad coordinator

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

Your School Study Abroad Coordinator is your main point of contact for academic support throughout your whole study abroad experience, from starting your application to returning from your placement. They can support you in finding the answers to lots of questions and ensuring your study abroad experience goes to plan.

The Study Abroad team are not able to advise on academic matters. Our advisers are there to help you with practical matters related to your studies abroad, such as advice about your application, issues with your travels and to help you contact your host university.

To find out more what responsibilities students, schools and the Study Abroad team are required to fulfil throughout the programme, read the Study Abroad Agreement.
