Credits obtained at a foreign university count towards your Lancaster degree. With the help of a subsidy from the European Union, you can spend a year as an ERASMUS Exchange Student at one of the following universities:

  • Zurich (Switzerland)
  • Lund (Sweden)
  • Greifswald (Germany)

Alternatively, you can spend your second year at a university in North America or Australasia. The exchange opportunities available may vary from year to year. More information for students wishing to spend a year studying away from Lancaster is available on the university's Study Abroad website.
