Studying at a university abroad gives you the chance to experience different intellectual traditions and teaching styles, all in the target language. Students who choose to study abroad can spend one or two semesters studying at a partner university in Europe, via an exchange arrangement with your College, or at a non-European approved institution.
European Study Placements
Cambridge has established formal academic exchange agreements with certain European universities and students choosing this route are not required to pay tuition fees at the host institution. Allocation of European study placements is coordinated by the Year Abroad Office. For further information on how to register your interest and how we allocate European study placements, see the Year Abroad Moodle site or your YA Handbook, which you will receive at the start of your second year.
See a list of European partner university institutions via the Year Abroad Moodle site.
College Exchange
Some Cambridge Colleges also have exchange agreements with certain universities. For more information, contact your College DoS/Tutor.
Non-European Study Placements
If you are planning to spend all or part of your Year Abroad studying in a Slavonic studies, Latin American or other Portuguese-speaking destination country, you must choose from a list of institutions approved by the Faculty Board. Cambridge has no formal exchange agreement with these institutions and students should apply as a fee-paying free-mover/visiting student, but please note tuition fees will be fully reimbursed by the Faculty.

Approved Spanish and Portuguese-speaking institutions via the Year Abroad Moodle site.
