Study Abroad Opportunities
If you do not undertake an International Industrial Placement, you must spend your second semester in Year 3 on an international study exchange at one of our university partners in Europe, China or Korea. There are also opportunities for spending all of Year 3 studying abroad, participating in our double-degree courses in either Germany, Finland or Korea.

Work Placement
In Year 3, you can undertake an International Industrial Placement in an IT company. In addition, all Year 3 students participate in the Global Classroom, a virtual, online classroom comprised of teams of international students on exchange at our international university partners. This emphasises the importance of globalisation and simulates how a team can design and develop software with team members in different locations.
