Have you always dreamed of experiencing life overseas? Discover where you can study or work abroad as part of your degree and come along to the Study and Work Abroad Fair to explore more! 

When and where is the Study Abroad Fair?

Where: University Hall, Stag Hill Campus

When: Thursday 19 November 2026, 10am - 3pm. If you prefer a calmer atmosphere, please join us for the quiet half-hour from 10-10:30am.

What to expect 

The Study and Work Abroad Fair is a great event for students to research and find out more about a wide range of international opportunities. 

You will have the chance to chat with students who have previously undertaken a placement or study exchange abroad and hear about their experiences, so have some questions ready!   

You can also learn about shorter-term summer programmes, including summer schools, internships and volunteering and discover the exciting opportunities available to you with the likelihood of a grant.  

Find out about grants and scholarships to help you better understand how you’ll be able to finance your time abroad and other practical and pastoral support offered at every stage of the journey. 

Why go abroad? 

In addition to the amazing memories you’ll make while abroad, you could also pick up skills and experiences including: 

  • Learning a language and discovering a new culture 
  • Making new friends and expanding your network 
  • Enhancing your employability 

Competitive grants and scholarships are available to contribute towards the costs of going abroad, with priority for students from disadvantaged groups. Students studying or working within Europe can also be considered for Erasmus+ funding. 

How to prepare for the Fair 

All students are encouraged to see where they can go and review the guidance and tips on SurreyAbroad on how to research your options carefully so you can make an informed decision on the best destination for you. 

How to apply to go abroad 

For support with finding a professional training placement abroad, we encourage you to reach out to the placements team. 

Applications for study exchanges, FHMS partner lab placements and summer programmes will open in late November. Deadline: 11:59pm Tuesday 2 February 2027.
