International Exchange – Undergraduate/Postgraduate (Outbound)
Course details
About the course
Broaden your horizons and study overseas for a semester or a year.
We are great believers in experience, so that’s why many of our courses have field studies attached to them. Industries and markets have global dimensions. Going abroad to further your studies will widen your perspective, so we fully support that.
The Lincoln University Student Exchange Programme allows you to get that broad experience in a different environment.
The programme lets you:
- have the opportunity to study abroad for one semester or a full academic year if selected
- continue to pay only your Lincoln University fees (scholarships and Studylink are still available)
- credit your overseas courses back to your Lincoln degree
- meet people from a different culture and make new friends
- see another part of the world without pausing your studies
- study subjects in addition to those available at Lincoln and broaden your knowledge of a particular discipline.
Where can you go?
We have partner institutions all over the world that complement the course you are studying at Lincoln University.
