Current home and international students
As a Leeds Beckett University student, you have the amazing opportunity to study abroad for one or two semesters as part of your degree. The Study Abroad and Exchange programmes enable you to study at one of over 150 partner universities across the world with which Leeds Beckett University has formal exchange agreements.
You can spend one or two semesters abroad studying or working towards a faculty approved learning study plan, whilst earning credit towards your degree course at Leeds Beckett University.
As an exchange student you remain enrolled full-time at Leeds Beckett University while you are away, so continue to pay your tuition fees to us in the usual way. A student at your host university does the same in reverse, and the result is an exchange of students and places.
Don't forget that you would need to apply for the Study Abroad and Exchange programmes during your first year of study at Leeds Beckett University, so you can start thinking about it now.
