Exchange partners

The University of Southampton greatly values its exchange links with some of the world's highest ranked universities. Every year we welcome around 450 students from our partner institutions who take part in study exchanges and work placements, and we are pleased to send out many University of Southampton students on exchange placements.

Exchange partners by discipline

Exchange partnerships are agreements between the University of Southampton and a partner university. The agreement may apply to a specific academic subject, to an entire faculty, or to the whole University. Exchange partner universities available to students studying any academic discipline are detailed under the University-wide programmes.

For each subject in each institution, we have indicated who is eligible to apply for an exchange. We have used the following abbreviations:

The language/s of instruction is shown beside the university's name, for example:
