Writtle University College and ARU have merged. Writtle’s full range of college, degree, postgraduate and short courses will still be delivered on the Writtle campus. See our guide to finding Writtle information on this site.

ARU Exchange Programme

Our exchanges provide a great way for you to study at one of our partner universities in Europe or North America as part of your degree course.

You can study abroad for one trimester at a European or North American partner university.

You don't need to be fluent in another language to study abroad, as all of the modules included in the programme are taught and assessed in English. The credits you gain at our partner universities will be recognised towards your ARU degree and your grades will be converted (with an approved learning agreement), so you don't need to extend your degree.

While you're studying abroad, you'll continue to pay your tuition fees to ARU and may be eligible to receive a UK Turing Scheme grant to offset some of the costs involved, such as travel expenses and the cost of living overseas. The grant is intended to be a contribution towards the additional costs of studying abroad and will not cover all expenses.

For more information on the UK Turing Scheme grant, please visit our funding page.

We have exchange partnerships with a number of European and North American universities.
