YEAR ABROAD
Study and Work Abroad Placements (SWAP)
Each year we help close to 500 students go abroad to work or study as part of their Bristol degree.
Depending on your course and department, you could spend between 3 and 12 months studying abroad or working abroad.
2010/11 applications
The application process for students wishing to go abroad in 2010/11 has now closed and late applications will only be accepted when the request is made by your academic tutor or year abroad coordinator.
We will guide you through the application process, funding information, pre-departure preparation and answer your questions.
If you are thinking of applying, we've tried to answer some of your common questions:
- Can I study abroad as part of my degree?
- Where can I go abroad as part of my degree?
- When can I go abroad?
- What courses do I have to take and how many credits do I need?
- What will the tuition fees be?
If you have already applied or are on a placement, we've tried to answer some of your common questions:
- Have you received the forms needed to give me my Erasmus grant?
- When will I get my Erasmus grant?
- I'm thinking of shortening / extending my work placement - is that OK?
- I'm having difficulties finding a work placement, can you help me?
- I have been told that I need a Convention de Stage / Convenio; what is it and can you provide one?
