Year Abroad Study

welcomecapitol hillelcome to the study abroad pages for the School of English at the University of Kent, UK. These pages are designed primarily to aid students enrolled on our degree programmes in

  • English & American Literature with a Year Abroad (EAMLIT-A)
  • English, American and Postcolonial Literature with a Year Abroad (EAPCOL-A)
  • English & American Literature with Creative Writing with a Year Abroad (EAMLITCW-A)
  • assorted Joint Honours with English programmes

If you are a student enrolled in an English degree at UKC and would like to switch to one of the year abroad programmes, you must do so before the end of your first year. We cannot guarantee space on these programmes and please note that admission to a YA programme does not guarantee the year abroad. Contact the English Director of Year Abroad (USA), Dr David Stirrup or Dr Ariane Midlenberg (Europe) if you want to discuss this further.

If you are not enrolled at UKC and would like to learn more about our programmes, please contact our Admissions Officer, Dr Emma Bainbridge.
