Study abroad and exchange
Incoming students
You can join the University of Sunderland for one or two semesters. Our programmes are flexible and you can choose to study at Sunderland (there are some restrictions) before returning home to resume your studies.
If you are from one of our exchange partners then you can join our Exchange Programme, if not, then you can still enjoy one or two semesters at Sunderland by joining our Study Abroad Programme. The Study Abroad Programme works much in the same way as the Exchange Programme where you will receive credit for any work successfully completed. The only difference is that as there is no formal exchange agreement with the University of Sunderland you will be required to pay a tuition fee.
