The Year Abroad is a compulsory academic component of the MMLL and HML Tripos. It takes part during the third academic year, during which students must spend at least 8 months studying and/or working in countries where the languages they studied during their first 2 years are spoken.
The Year Abroad is a unique time during your term of study that offers a range of opportunities for learning and growth. It requires planning and careful consideration.
