Students who are already registered for a degree including a Year Abroad will be contacted by the European or International Offices about applications and practicalities during the first or second year. If a degree programme has options for the Year Abroad placement, you will be given this information, in a booklet and/or at a meeting, and will be asked to choose preferences. - I am already registered for a degree with a year in industry

The experiences I have had studying in Miami have been amazing. There have been lots of opportunities to travel: I went on a day trip to Montreal, spent a weekend on a cruise in the Bahamas and stopped off for a few nights in New York on the way back to Miami after Christmas.
