Study abroad

The School for Sociology, Politics and International Studies offers full-year or half-year exchanges with a variety of other universities.

Politics students have the option of taking the four year joint honours courses with a foreign language.  Courses abroad will be conducted in the local language.  Students may also choose to study at one of the University’s partner institutions in North America, Australia, or East Asia.  This is coordinated through the University’s Study Abroad Office.  The University currently has agreements with over thirty universities in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand and the United States.  Most recently, our students have attended:

• Occidental College, California, USA
• Pitzer College, California, USA
• University of California, Berkeley, USA
