Student Exchanges
UPDATE, December 2011:
We can now confirm that Salford students studying for both semesters of their second year on an exchange at an Erasmus (European) University in 2012/13 or 2013/14, and who are UK citizens, nationals of the European Community, and nationals of other countries participating in Erasmus, will qualify for a tuition fee waiver for that year. This applies to students on degree programmes that are based in English, Sociology and Criminology, and Politics and Contemporary History.
Exchanges are a great opportunity for so many reasons, but if the above criteria are met then an exchange also provides the opportunity to study for a year of your degree without paying tuition fees. For more information contact Dr Samantha Newbery, Exchange Officer, s.l.newbery@salford.ac.uk.
In the second or third year of your studies in ESPaCH you may take advantage of of our study abroad exchange scheme. For further details and information on how to apply please contact the following person:
- English Subject Group: Gill James
- Sociology and Criminology Subject Group: Tina Patel
- Politics and Contemporary History Subject Group: Cristina Chiva
