STUDY ABROAD

Make the most of your time at Abertay by taking advantage of the opportunity to study or work abroad. You will gain invaluable experience to help give you an edge when applying for jobs. There are a range of options, including semester/ academic year long studies abroad, work placements, and summer schools. Exchanges are open to students in year 2 or 3, though certain subjects may have the option in year 4.

You cannot go back to your home country to study abroad as this circumvents the admissions system of the home country.

Study abroad does not impact pre-settled status as it is a valid reason to be out of the country.

If you have been away from the UK for less than 6 months, you will be able to apply for pre-settled/settled status. If you have been away 6 - 12 months, you will still be able to apply under the scheme if you can prove that this was due to your study or work year abroad.
