Study Abroad
All undergraduate degrees at EBS London incorporate a
period of study abroad. Because it is such an important
component of our courses, full details and information are
provided on a dedicated
micro-site.
This page contains a brief overview of the Study Abroad
programme.
Programme Requirements
Studying abroad is one of the parts of the EBS London learning
experience our students most look forward to. Students have
an exciting choice of destinations for the
two study abroad semesters needed to complete the
EBS London degree.
During your Study Period Abroad, you will attend selected
academic courses alongside native speaker students and, in most
cases, take the same examinations as they do. Depending on your
chosen language, it is likely
that your studies abroad will be done in the
host language.
Study abroad is a highly demanding experience, and you will need
to be well prepared before you go. To be eligible for study abroad,
you must have successfully completed all of the core modules of
your degree at Level 1 and Level 2. Of course, this includes the
relevant language courses.
When and Where
Study
Abroad takes place in semesters 4 and 5; you may complete the two
semesters at the same institution or select a different location
for the second semester.
EBS London has carefully selected over 70 partner
institutions on the basis of academic excellence as our
study abroad partners. These institutions are in countries ranging
from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Japan, Mexico,
Russia, Uruguay to the USA, as well as many across Europe.
Every year we establish partnerships with more universities, so
to see the full range of choices available, please refer to the
Study Abroad section of this
website and search our partner database -
please select EBS Outbound.
When the time comes to plan your study abroad, your university
choice will be based on the language(s) in which you
specialise, as well as on a close match between the specialist
expertise of the host institution and your own developing career
plan.
The International Partnerships Office
will provide you with personal guidance to ensure
that the most appropriate partner institution is selected for
you.
Placement Learning Project
A popular alternative to an exchange programme is the placement
learning project. Instead of undertaking two semesters of academic
study abroad, you can spend one semester working, similar to an
internship.
International Business students will be required to work in a
foreign company, using the foreign language. International
Events Management students who do not take a foreign language as
part of the programme can work in an English-speaking
company.
The Benefits
Study abroad presents you with the opportunity to reach a
commanding level of fluency in your chosen language(s), to study
specialist options which will take you closer towards your chosen
career, and to build up some practical work experience in other
countries.
There is no question that you will come back a different person.
Study abroad is a stimulating experience and highly prized
by employers.
Employers are keen to recruit from EBS London because of the
value study abroad adds to our degree programmes, enabling our
students to become flexible and experienced business
professionals.
EBS London participates in the Socrates-Erasmus programme and in
the European Credit Transfer System.
