Outgoing Exchange Students (Postgraduate)

International Exchange Opportunities

Aston Business School strives to meet the current needs of employers and students in our globalised economy. To achieve this we have forged strong links with other high quality business schools worldwide, presenting our students with exciting international study exchange opportunities.

Students currently have three options to study abroad, two of which are undertaken in the final part of their one-year degree:  our Term 3 Exchange Programme and the Cultural Studies Summer Programme . The third option, the Double Degree, is undertaken once their studies at Aston are fully completed, and offers the possibility of obtaining a second Master degree from one of our partner institutions by spending an additional year with them.

Term 3 Study Programme 

This allows students to gain academic credit towards their degree through studying at one of our partner institutions (subject to Course Director’s approval). Students replace their Term 3 Aston modules with an appropriate number of modules studied at the partner institution.
