If you have one elective remaining, an Overseas Short Program could be the perfect fit. These short‑term programs allow you to study abroad while gaining global experience and expanding your perspective.

If you have multiple electives left, consider a Semester Exchange. Spending a semester overseas is a rewarding opportunity to build international networks, develop valuable skills, and enhance your career prospects.

Explore both options and find the experience that suits you best by visiting the Study Abroad page on the Careers and Opportunities website.

Take the leap and see the world while you study.

Why not use part of your summer break to get ahead in your studies! This year there are more summer subjects than ever and enrolment for Summer 2025/Term 1 2026 is open now!

You can use Summer School to:

• finish university and start a career sooner
• spread out the workload to a more convenient time
• free up more time for working during the standard semester
• study a subject that could be an elective in your course
• complete a subject that you may have dropped previously (where offered)
• make up for a subject that you failed (where offered).

Dates

Check the Handbook to see which subjects are available during the Summer teaching period.

When using the Handbook search, select from the teaching period filter. Use the filter to find Summer subjects between 17 November and 13 February.

Please note you will need to complete two different searches to see all Summer subjects (i.e. one for subjects starting in 2025 and one for subjects starting in 2026).

Always double-check the Handbook to ensure that your chosen Summer subject is running. Subject instances may change at any time, without warning.
