Study Abroad and Exchange

Incoming Opportunities

AUB offers students the opportunity to explore their creative practice while broadening their horizons.

Incoming Opportunities

Would you like to learn and live in the UK for a short time during your studies? If you're doing a creative degree in your home country, you can come here for part of your course and enjoy the benefits AUB has to offer.

You'll not only learn from our expert academics and use state-of-the-art facilities, but you'll also improve your language skills, learn about UK culture, and get amazing life experiences as well.

If you're an overseas student and coming to AUB as a study abroad student, you can study with us for a term or a full year. If you are coming as an exchange student from an AUB partner institution, you can study with us for a term. Visit our Term Dates page for more information.

  • Exchange students come from our partner universities and do not pay tuition fees.
  • Study Abroad students can come from our partner universities and pay tuition fees.

Exchange

We would love you to spend a term with us.

All incoming exchange students must apply through their universities, which must be an exchange partner of AUB. Once we receive the nominations from your institution, we will get in touch and let you know how to apply directly to AUB.

The Exchange Co-ordinator or International Officer at your Home institution will be able to provide you with the information about the nomination process and application deadlines.

Please read our Exchanges Factsheet for more information about studying at AUB as an exchange student and the application process.

Below is a list of our partner institutions. Check if your home institution is there and if so, we look forward to receiving your submission. Please speak with your home exchange co-ordinator to arrange this.
