Accessibility & LanguageBA Global Experience
BA Global Experience
Year Abroad 2027/28
1. Global Experience students not studying a continental language
In early November 2026, all 2nd Year BA Global Experience non-language students will be invited to attend an information meeting hosted by the CASSCS Mobility Officer. Attendance at this session will be mandatory for any BGE non-language student wishing to study abroad.
In advance of that, you might like to take a look at the 2026 list of CASSCS study abroad partners and subject combinations and the Appendix to the study abroad application form 2026/27. This information will be updated in November. The new application form will be made available then, and study abroad offers will be made after Semester 1 results are issued in late January.
Please pay careful attention to e-mails from the CASSCS Mobility Officer! Failure to engage with the processes could result in your not being eligible to take part in study abroad.
2. Global Experience Language students will initially be advised about study abroad by the Erasmus academic coordinator in their language discipline(s).
COST OF STUDY ABROAD
An important consideration for anyone planning to study abroad is finance. The International Office website has some useful information on Financial Planning for Study Abroad, including a very helpful document showing the estimated costs for non-EU destinations.
AVAILABILTY AND ALLOCATION OF STUDY ABROAD PLACES
Students should keep in mind that due to the limited number of exchange places available, they may not be allocated a place in their preferred destination: they would then receive an offer for an alternative destination.
In February/March 2027, students will be nominated to their host universities abroad.
