With 300 university partners across the world, the University of Birmingham offers students a wealth of opportunities to study, research, work or volunteer abroad.
Going abroad is a time of personal and academic development. It is proven to increase employability. It is also time to meet new people, try new things, learn new cultures and get as much from student life as possible. It’s time to venture and thrive!
