Lancaster University receives over 300 students each year on its Study Abroad and Exchange Programme.

"Study Abroad" is the term generally applied to students wishing to spend a period from 3-10 months at a foreign university taking courses for credit towards their home degrees.

"Exchange" is the term generally applied to students selected by their home institution to participate in a formal programme for exchanging students established between the two universities. Exchange students are not required to pay tuition fees to Lancaster.

For further information about our study abroad and exchange programme please see our Study Abroad Handbook online. This gives details of the academic programme, the courses available and when they are taught, as well as lots of information about the university, the city and the surrounding area.
