Creating New Exchanges

Before completing any documentation, the Study Abroad Office should be contacted for advice on the information required and for discussion about the general suitability of the proposed partner. This includes consideration is whether the link is likely to be reciprocal as all exchanges are based on one in for one out.

For further information contact Acting Head of Study Abroad Clive Souter at: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) .

A Proposal for a New Study Abroad Agreement should be completed by the proposer and be submitted as  follows:

1. A copy to both:
a) School Learning and Teaching Committee (SLTC)
b) The Study Abroad Office (SAO)
2. SLTC - Faculty Learning and Teaching Committee (FLTC) - AQST
3. AQST – Signed documentation to Standing Group on Study Abroad
4. A Partner Report is to be completed before a new study abroad partner can be approved. If the university is an existing partner a Partner Report is not necessary. A Partner Report can be completed by the proposed partner however this should be checked and, if necessary, added to by the proposing school. A site visit is recommended before a new agreement is created although this is at the discretion of the proposing school.
