Other Benefits

Students may spend the first unit of their intercalary year at a university with which the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics has formal agreements or at any other university approved by the School. Currently, agreements or bilateral exchange agreements exist with specific universities in China (Guilin, Xi'an), France (Angers, Saint-Etienne) and French-speaking Canada (Quebec City), Germany (Oldenburg, Trier) and Austria (Graz, Klagenfurt), and Japan (Hiroshima, Kagoshima, Nagoya, Tokyo). Such agreements typically mean that tuition fees are waived, that help is given with finding accommodation and that an element of pastoral care is provided. Some financial assistance is available in connection with study at certain of these universities. Students have the opportunity of completing a business work placement overseas, in the country of their target language.
