Study abroad
We offer a range of study abroad opportunities from our international study degree to shorter schemes.
The vast majority of undergraduate students in the School of Mathematics have the opportunity to apply to study abroad during their time at Nottingham. Options available include a year abroad, a semester abroad or an international summer school. For most opportunities you can apply to study abroad once you have started your degree programme. Support is available before, during and after your study abroad period.
To see what options are available each year, see the Faculty of Science global opportunities information. This information is updated annually in September for the following academic year.

This exchange so far has exceeded my expectations. I have been to eight different countries, made hundreds of friends and gained a whole new perspective on what I want to do and where I want to be in the future
Hong Kong is great for anyone who wants to learn languages like me, whether that be Cantonese or Mandarin. There is loads of opportunities to make friends with other international students and explore Asia. Also through this program you can really broaden your career prospects and be inspired to look beyond just your home country, as well as enjoy amazing weather and food!
