Inclusivity, equality and diversity
The University of Exeter aims to provide a working and learning environment which is free from unfair discrimination and will enable students and staff to fulfil their personal potential. To ensure a comfortable work and study place for diverse groups of people, the University has published policies to guide students, staff members and other people on campus on appropriate behaviour. Visit the University’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion webpages for more details and contacts.
In Public Health and Sport Sciences we are committed to maintaining an inclusive environment for all our staff and students. This commitment includes identifying areas where inclusivity, equality and diversity could be improved and creating subsequent actions. Luciana Torquati is the Equality and Diversity Director for Sport, Exercise and Nutrition Sciences. She is also our representative on the University’s Equality and Diversity Committee.
Study abroad
The study abroad scheme allows students on the BSc Exercise and Sport Sciences to study abroad for the first semester of the second year, at a university of equivalent standard and quality as the University of Exeter.
During this semester abroad you will undertake units similar to those you would have taken at Exeter and gain credits towards your final degree. You will also gain vital experience and employability skills, such as flexibility to your environment, adaptability, understanding of various cultures and languages, self-reliance and confidence.
We have links with a number of major universities offering courses and units in Sport and Exercise Nutrition Sciences. Opportunities exist to study at institutions within the EU as part of the Erasmus scheme.
There are further opportunities to study at International Exchange partner institutions outside of Europe.

Are language skills a barrier to studying in non-English speaking countries?
Don't worry that your language skills may limit your eligibility to apply to study abroad. It's possible that the universities in these countries will teach courses and units in English, or provide a foreign language course. The experience gives you the opportunity to enhance your language skills through taking additional courses and living in a foreign country for an extended period of time.
Tuition fees
Students spending a semester abroad will not pay tuition fees to the host University but will continue to pay the tuition fee contribution to Exeter as normal. If you are studying abroad in the EU you may be part of the Erasmus scheme and be eligible for a grant to assist towards the potential increase in the cost of studying abroad. Grants are not readily available for non-EU universities, although some local education authorities may provide a grant. It is recommended that you contact Student Finance England to explore any available funding opportunities.
Application deadline
The deadline for applications is in January during your first year of study. If you think that you are interested in the scheme you'll need to give it careful consideration and do the necessary research during your first semester.
