In an increasingly globalised world, a period of international study is a major benefit and can help you to stand out in a crowded job market. All of our business degrees offer you the option of spending your third year studying abroad at one of our international partner universities. This is an opportunity to develop foreign language skills, experience another country and learn about its culture.

You may decide to study at one of our exchange universities for a full-year placement period in your third year of study.

Opportunities for study abroad are currently available in Australia, Canada, Chile, China/Hong Kong, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and USA. Funding is available for EU students travelling to EU countries through the ERASMUS scheme. Other funding opportunities (open to both EU and non-EU students) may also be available through scholarships offered by the host institution, the British Council and/or other funding bodies.

The offer of a place on a ‘study abroad’ degree does not imply that Durham University Business School guarantees to place the student with one of its partner institutions, nor a partner of the student’s choice. All study abroad programmes are subject to approval by the Business School. Some partner relationships have restricted access and so are not available to all students. The Business School, in association with the University, will assist students in applying for a study abroad place, but it is the responsibility of the student to apply for such a place, and the right of the Business School/University to allocate students to available places as it deems best. In the event that a student is unable to obtain a study abroad place, transfer to the equivalent ‘non-study abroad’ programme is guaranteed provided the student is eligible to transfer on academic grounds. In line with Home Office rules, students from outside the EU will transfer onto the ‘with business placement’ programme only once they have successfully secured a placement (normally at the end of their second year of study).

The Study Abroad year fees are set annually by the University – fees are % of the annual tuition fee. Any fees displayed are for guidance only. For the definitive amount of the Study Abroad year fees payable please contact: Student Billing
