Summer schools

Summer schools are a great way to gain global experience, travel and make new friends. The Global Opportunities and Exchanges team can help you to apply for one of our partner university summer schools, in Europe or further afield.

Languages for all

There’s also the exciting opportunity to learn a language, either as part of your degree (through guided module choice) or alongside it (not-for-credit modules). Our Languages for All programme gives you the chance to learn a new language or enhance existing language skills.

This includes a wide range of European languages, including Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Czech; as well as languages you may never have had a chance to study before, such as Japanese, Korean, Arabic and British Sign Language.
