Exchange programme

Glasgow has many partnership agreements, which allow students to spend a year of their degree, or one semester, at an overseas university – either in Europe or further afield. Students who choose to go abroad do so in their third year.

Spending time abroad has many advantages in terms of broadening your horizons, challenging yourself in a different academic environment, enhancing your CV and employment prospects and, perhaps, learning a language. Students studying a language as part of their accounting degree are encouraged to spend time abroad.

More information can be found on the University’s Go Abroad webpages .

Programme alteration or discontinuation The University of Glasgow endeavours to run all programmes as advertised. In exceptional circumstances, however, the University may withdraw or alter a programme. For more information, please see: Student contract .

A list of these can be found on the UK Border Agency website . If you have never taken one of these tests before, you can get an initial idea of your level by using the Common European Framework self-assessment grid which gives you a level for each skill (e.g. listening B1/writing B2 etc.) However, please note that this is not a secure English language test and it is not sufficient evidence of your level of English for visa requirements.
