Erasmus is the European Commission funded scheme to promote mobility of students (and staff) from higher education institutions within Europe to other European countries. If you are interested in going to the US, Canada, Australia etc then this would not be classed as an Erasmus exchange.
More information about the Erasmus scheme is available on the British Council website.
Since it is vital for us to be able to assure the quality of your time abroad and the level of service provided at the host institution, it is only possible for students to go abroad as part of their Manchester degree course to one of our recognised partners.
New agreements are being signed annually, so you may find that extra destinations are on offer by the time you come to Manchester.
However it is unfortunately not generally possible to set up a new agreement to meet the demands of an individual student.
Yes, the partner university will send us the results from your time abroad and these will be converted into UK grades and will count towards your final degree classification.
Yes. From 2012/13 a number of income-assessed scholarships will be available for students undertaking a worldwide exchange programme. Students will automatically be considered for a scholarship by the Study Abroad Unit at the point of application. (This is only available to British nationals).
There are also some independent organisations who offer a small number of grants and bursaries every year, such as the Rotary Club, BUTEX, BUNAC and the Singaporean DUO Fellowship Award.
When we receive information about such schemes we will always pass it on to students nominated for exchange and would encourage them to apply. However we would caution against relying on receiving any additional funding as it is obviously not a guaranteed source of finance.
