How do I apply?

First-year students wishing to go abroad should apply during their first semester at Roehampton. The application deadline is 1 March 2023. If you are a January starter, please contact roehamptonabroad@roehampton.ac.uk for an adjusted deadline.

1. If you would like to study abroad, firstly make sure you are eligible.

2. Choose your three preferred partner institutions
   As part of the application process, you will need to research where you can and would like to go, and choose your three preferred partners. Please note that not all universities are suitable for all programmes – you should view the institutions available for your programmes of study.

3. Start an application
   Once you have chosen your three preferred institutions, you can start an application by visiting the programme page for one of your choices and clicking the 'Apply Now' button. You will then be invited to create an account. Follow the instructions that will be emailed to you, checking your junk folder if an email doesn't appear. The application will ask you to choose the semester for your study abroad. For September starters, this will be the Spring semester and for January starters, this will be the Autumn semester. If you are unsure, please see your programme convener(s) or email roehamptonabroad@roehampton.ac.uk.

4. Fill in the questionnaires
   The application consists of four questionnaires listed toward the bottom of the page under 'Application Questionnaires'. These will ask you for some biographical information, some information about your planned study abroad (including your three preferred partner institutions) and a personal statement. You will also need to upload a copy of your passport. We recommend you use Google Chrome to complete the questionnaires.

5. Confirmation of receipt
   Your application is complete when you have submitted all four questionnaires. You will get a confirmation email once your application is complete. The deadline for receipt of applications is 1 March 2023.

6. Selection and notification
   After the application deadline has passed, Roehampton Abroad will contact your Programme Convenor for a predicted grade and approval for your request to study abroad.

The selection committee will then meet and students will be notified of all placement decisions by the end of April.
