Information on outbound exchanges
5 reasons to study abroad
- Cultural exposure and diversity: you get the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture, fostering cultural competence, open-mindedness, and a global perspective.
- Academic enrichment: many study abroad programmes provide access to unique courses, perspectives and teaching methods that may not be available in our home institutions. This exposure to diverse academic environments can enhance your overall learning experience.
- Personal growth and independence: living in a foreign country encourages your personal growth, resilience and enhances your sense of confidence.
- Career opportunities: employers often value international experiences on a CV. Studying abroad demonstrates adaptability, cultural awareness, and the ability to thrive in a diverse setting.
- Cross-cultural networking: studying abroad allows you to build a global network of contacts and friends. Connecting with peers from different countries fosters valuable international relationships. These connections can be advantageous both personally and professionally, providing a diverse network that spans borders.
Student stories

Hear from Mari about Norway
Mari joined us from Oslo New University College for an Autumn 2025 exchange
“For students considering going abroad, I would highly encourage it. It’s a unique opportunity to challenge yourself, gain new perspectives, and grow both academically and personally.
As for Oslo and Norway, students can expect a high quality of life, a strong focus on work-life balance, and a welcoming student environment. Oslo offers a great mix of city life and nature, with easy access to forests, fjords, and outdoor activities year-round. While the cost of living can be high, the overall student experience is very positive, with good support systems and a strong sense of community. After completing high school, around 10,000 graduates serve as conscripts in the Norwegian Armed Forces. Gap years are also a common part of our culture. Therefore, undergraduate students in Norway tend to be slightly older than first-year students at the University of Chichester.”
Oslo New University College is an exchange partner for Politics students. University of Chichester students can go for the Autumn semester only.
Who can apply?
Every student at the University of Chichester, at any level meeting the following criteria:
- Average grade of 55% or higher.
- 70% or higher attendance.
- A strong motivation!
Mitigating circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
When do I go?
Normally, students can go abroad during their second year of studies. There might be some exceptions in their third year, but this will not be the norm.
Students can opt for a semester abroad or for a full year.
How does it work?
There are some important steps to consider when thinking about studying abroad:
- Read through our guide on what to consider about studying abroad.
- Find and contact your subject-specific exchange tutor who can provide more information about when you will be able to go and for how long.
- Research where you will be able to go and study by viewing our exchange partners or by contacting your subject-specific exchange tutor, who will be able to recommend potential destinations. Please note that while institution-wide partnerships are open to students of any programme, the content of courses offered abroad might not match the requirements of your specific subject area, so make sure to get in touch with your Exchange Coordinator to check whether an exchange is feasible.
- Ensure you have considered the funding and support available.
- Join one of our Drop-In events to find out more.
- Fill in your Application form
Where can I study?
The University of Chichester currently holds a variety of exchange agreements with other partner institutions in Europe and Internationally.
When you apply to study abroad you can choose up to 3 exchange partners that you are interested in.
You will also be able to consider modules (normally called ‘courses’ abroad) from any of their undergraduate degrees rather than just the degree that matches your degree.
The partner university and your exchange tutor will need to approve the modules (courses) you select and this will happen during your application.

*Christopher Newport University outbound exchanges are temporarily unavailable for 2026/2027.
Academic programmes are always subject to change, so in order to make sure your study abroad application can go ahead, you will first need to confirm with your exchange coordinator that the syllabus at our partner university allows for an exchange.
Due to the specificity or the structure of some programmes, for example, sometimes due to accreditation requirements, we are unable to offer study abroad options for some degree subjects.
This is, for example, the case for our Nursing, Musical Theatre Education, and Physical Education with QTS students (students enrolled on the Physical Education without QTS programme and Education with QTS are still able to go abroad).
Employers and universities looking to partner
We are always looking to create new opportunities for our students! If you are a University or an employer abroad and are interested in partnering with us, don’t hesitate to get in touch at exchange@chi.ac.uk

Exchange Tutors
An Exchange Tutor is an academic point of contact responsible for facilitating and supporting student mobility within an exchange program.
This role involves liaising with students to help them identify suitable institutions for their international experiences, guiding them through the process of selecting modules or courses abroad, and providing academic support throughout their exchange.
Exchange tutors play a crucial role in assisting students in navigating the academic aspects of studying abroad.
Each department/school/institute has a dedicated point of contact. Please make sure you contact them as soon as possible.
