- You'll live, study, and potentially work abroad, combining university study with an international vocational opportunity. The department has a number of partners in Europe and China, but you’ll also be able to make use of the university’s partners in the World University Network, and partners beyond the university as well. During the year, you'll study modules on offer at your host institution and you'll pay a reduced fee to York for that year of study. Your assessment will be via two modules, in which you'll write a 2000-word essay, in English, discussing your experience abroad, and assessed by the York department.
