Where can I go?

The University of Edinburgh offers students the opportunity to study abroad in Europe and beyond. We have around 300 student exchange partners in nearly 40 countries worldwide.

Not all institutions will be suitable for each degree programme. It is your responsibility to identify an appropriate programme of study at a potential exchange destination and to ensure that appropriate courses are available.  The resources below should help you learn more about possible destinations before you apply to go on exchange. 

When selecting a potential exchange destination, there are certain key things you should consider to ensure you are making the right choice for you.
