STUDY
ABROAD
If you enrol at Keele you’ll already be studying
abroad but have you considered enhancing
your studies at one of our partner universities?
ENRICH YOUR UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE
Keele has agreements with over 80
universities across North America, Europe,
Asia and Australasia enabling students to
globalise their degree. Developing cultural
awareness, enhancing communication skills,
becoming more independent, increasing
employability, meeting new people and being
taught your subject from a different perspective
are just some of the advantages to studying
abroad mid-degree.
There are plenty of different opportunities to
globalise your degree including:
• The International Year: Spend a year
studying at a partner university experiencing
life in another culture. You can even split
the year in half and spend time in two
locations. The International Year is usually
taken between the second and third year
of your degree and is not credit bearing
which means you can study some relevant
modules from outside your core discipline.
• Semester Abroad: Take one semester of
modules at an approved partner during
the second year of your degree.
• Language Schools: If you learn a language
alongside your degree you can attend
a language summer school in a country
that speaks the same language to build
confidence and fluency and to put your
new skills to the test.
• Research Programme: Students in Life
Sciences are offered the opportunity to
spend 3 months in Malaysia conducting
research alongside academic staff at
Universiti Sains Malaysia.
• Study Tour: Some courses offer an overseas
study tour guided by an academic in
conjunction with a partner university.
