Study abroad/Junior Year Abroad (JYA)
What is it?
Study Abroad provides international students with the option to spend a part of their bachelor's degree at a UK university, studying alongside UK undergraduate students. Subjects studied in the UK can transfer and count as credit towards your degree in your home country. Length of time abroad can range from one semester to one year and is especially beneficial for those looking to improve their language skills or study a particular subject in their academic area that is not offered in their home country.
