At present we have exchange agreements with the University of California, University of Miami, University of South Florida, Muhlenberg College (Pennsylvania) and Hunter College (New York).
Applicants will be invited to attend one of our regular Open Days. This gives you an opportunity to see the College campus and to meet staff and students.
We also participate in an exchange programme with European universities under the SOCRATES scheme (the European Union programme for the mobility of students and for cooperation in higher education).
College tours are also available all year round, and enable you to explore the campus with a current or recent student as guide.
Science Po, France At present we have one exchange agreement with Science Po (Rennes, France). The scheme will provide you with the opportunity to spend a substantial period of study (a minimum of three months, although the usual period is one academic year) at Sciences Po (Rennes, France). You will require a level of fluency in French, but Science Po does offer a pre-sessional French for academia course and offers some sessional courses in English.

STUDENT PROFILE
Anuka Gazara, Politics “I chose Queen Mary because it offers high quality teaching in a rich research environment. I was also impressed with the level of academic excellence in the School of Politics and International Relations. “The School of Politics and International Relations is firstrate and offers students the best and most recent information from professors and academics who are currently researching or working in the field of politics. “I am a member of the Politics Committee as well as the Queen Mary Conservative Society. I also participate in Provide, which is a volunteering organisation unique to Queen Mary. It offers students the chance to take part in a range of volunteering activities from teaching young children, to assisting legal clerks in a law firm. “Working on the Politics Society Newsletter was exciting and a lot of hard work but it gave me the opportunity to meet some inspiring and determined individuals.”
