Our four-year ''with International Placement'' degree, offers you the possibility of spending your third year abroad, either working or studying abroad.

You will need to confirm how you intend to spend your International Placement during the first semester of the second year. We will help you in the process. During your first year you will be invited to an introductory presentation about your International Placement options. In your second year, there is an extensive orientation programme to help you prepare for your International Placement.

Ways to spend the International Placement (work or study)

• You must spend 6-15 months abroad, maximising the opportunities available to you
• You can work, study, or split the year on two or more placements
• Students going to China or Russia can currently only study (work abroad is not available)
• If you study Portuguese, the only options available are study or work abroad (not a British Council assistantship)
