Eligibility - What can I do?

With support from Global Opportunities, there are several options for going abroad. What you choose may depend on your degree scheme, which study year you are in, and most importantly, your own aspirations about what you would like to do.

Eligibility options are broken down by department. Please note that you should always check with your departmental coordinator(s) that your desired mobility is possible, as eligibility may differ according to your specific degree scheme. Joint-Honours students should always check with both departments about the possibility of a semester abroad.
