Exchanges at the University of Edinburgh are normally undertaken in the third year of undergraduate study as an integral component of your degree programme.
2025/26 exchange applications
Our study exchange application period is now closed.
You can no longer apply to go on exchange during the 2025/26 academic year. The Study and Work Away Service will be in touch with all applicants in the coming weeks.
You can study in English at many of our partner universities but, for study at some institutions, competence in the native language will be needed.

An exchange is an integral part of your degree programme, so it's important you understand exactly what the academic requirements and implications will be.
All Schools and Subject Areas offering exchange opportunities have a dedicated Exchange Coordinator to provide academic support and guidance to students before and during their exchange.
