Study Abroad
All students on our environmental programmes have the opportunity to spend a
semester of their second year studying at one of our partner universities around
the world.
By taking a four-year degree, which includes ‘with
International Year’ on the degree certificate, students
can even spend an entire year studying at one or two of
our partner universities. We have selected our partner
universities to ensure that they have modules available that
complement our courses at Keele and students are given
help and advice in selecting their preferred institution and
preparing themselves for studying abroad.
We have partner institutions where students on our
environmental programmes have studied in North America,
Iceland, Sweden, Finland, South Africa and Australia
amongst others. In non-native English speaking countires,
teaching is in English, although students are encouraged
to learn the local language to benefit even more from their
time abroad. Studying abroad is a fantastic opportunity,
enabling students to experience living in a different culture,
to learn from environmental experts in different parts of the
world, and to experience the diversity of environmental
and sustainability issues internationally, all in the safe and
supportive environment of one of our partner universities.
APPLIED ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE STUDENT
WHO STUDIED AT OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY,
VIRGINIA, USA
“Being part of the study abroad programme
is definitely one of the best decisions I made
during my time studying at Keele. It was a
fantastic opportunity to see parts of America I
probably wouldn’t have had the occasion to visit
under normal circumstances, and experience
a different culture. Furthermore, thanks to the
flexibility of my course tutors at Keele I was able
to explore areas of my subject that wouldn’t have
been available to me in the UK”.
BSC ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY STUDENT
“Studying abroad in Sweden has given me
another perspective on the state of the world
and the problems we are facing. This new
perspective will help me in both my studies and
in finding a meaningful occupation for my post-
university life”.
ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY STUDENT WHO
STUDIED AT BROCK UNIVERSITY, CANADA
“Studying abroad in Canada was one of the
best experiences I have had. It gave me the
opportunity to experience a different culture
whilst making some excellent friends. I am a
more confident and outgoing person because of
my time abroad and I have come back with great
grades and fantastic memories”.
