What to submit
There are three documents that you must complete and submit to be considered for this programme:
- application form (PDF);
- two separate copies of the reference form (PDF) – at least one of your references must be academic; and
- module selection form (PDF).
Please also submit the following documents:
- official college/university transcript for your studies to date. This should show the classes you are currently enrolled in – if not, please provide this information on a separate sheet
- a 250–300 word personal statement explaining why you want to study abroad and what you expect to gain
- a photocopy of the biographical details page of your passport
Some subject areas impose a maximum limit to the number of Study Abroad students that they will accept, so we advise applying early.
