Study Abroad continues to be a priority for the future, and we are working with Colleges to develop new programmes of study which will enable more students to take up this opportunity. For example, all undergraduate programmes in the College of Humanities will have the option of a period of study abroad from 2012/13 onwards, similar to that already undertaken by the Business School. We will continue to encourage more of our students to consider a period of Study Abroad. Following up on the poster and leaflet campaign conducted for all new students arriving in 2010,

we plan to promote Study Abroad via plasma screens in academic buildings, and messages on the student portal. In keeping with the goals of the Internationalisation Strategy, we are creating imaginative and attractive opportunities to bring an international element to the Exeter student experience. We hope to create opportunities which will encourage students to step outside the comfort zone of Europe, Australasia and North America and have therefore expanded options to include Asia. In 2010/11, financial aid was provided to assist 72 students to participate in international summer school programmes Australia which satisfied criteria (up from 62 the Sidney, year before) relating to the reputation of the hosting universities, the nature of the partnership between Exeter and the host, and the recommendations of Exeter faculty.
