Exchange Opportunities
Study abroad as part of your degree programme adds depth and invaluable employability skills to your learning whilst at university. The undergraduate curriculum at WSA has been designed specifically so that you can integrate a semester abroad in the second semester of your second year. In contrast to some institutions, at WSA the period studying in another country is not considered as an 'add-on' but rather forms a part of your mainstream study. The work you produce while away from WSA will be assessed on your return and will contribute fully to your marks in the same way that units studied in the UK do. In addition, as is the case for students remaining in the UK, if you can take advantage of an exchange opportunity you will produce a reflective journal in the second half of your second year. The journal allows those who have been abroad to analyse their time away and make the most of what they have learned for the benefit of their study back at WSA.
WSA has agreements with institutions across the European Union, under the Erasmus scheme, and further afield, under bilateral agreement, covering all of the disciplines taught at the School. The exact links that WSA has changes year-on-year as new connections are established and others, for a variety of reasons, lapse - so please click on the links for further information on outgoing and incoming exchanges. For additional detailed information on the Erasmus scheme, please see http://www.europa.eu.int/ and follow the links from the homepage.
