Study abroad


Nottingham has 200 partners in 40 different countries spanning six different continents across four different exchange programmes. These include Inter-campus exchange, University-wide exchange, summer schools and school exchanges.


I was lucky enough to spend my third year studying abroad at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Not only did I have the chance to understand how law operates across borders, but it was also an invaluable opportunity to explore and immerse myself in a part of the world that I would not have otherwise been able to go to.
