This page is for outgoing Warwick students interested in going abroad. Here are information for incoming students coming to Warwick with the Erasmus program.

Studying abroad

The standard program is Erasmus, that allows students from Warwick to spend a year at selected universities in Europe. For their year abroad, Erasmus students pay half the tuition fees to the University of Warwick and nothing to the host institution. They remain registered at Warwick whilst they are abroad and, as such, are entitled to the same level of financial help from their LEAs as for the other years. In addition, they receive an Erasmus grant which contributes toward their travel and living expenses abroad. To qualify to be an Erasmus student, you need to be an EU or an EEA national. There are two options to this program.

• Intercalated Year (G101): Open to students with at least a good 2.1 mark. The year abroad does not really count, and you resume your studies in Warwick with the 3rd year, leading to the BSc degree from Warwick University.
• MMath with Intercalated Year (G105): Open to students in four-year degree course with at least a good 2.1 mark. The year abroad does not really count, and you resume your studies in Warwick with the 3rd year, receiving the MMath degree from Warwick University after two more years.
• MMath with Study in Europe (G106): Open to students in four-year degree course with good marks. The year abroad is the 3rd year of studies, and it counts like Year 3 in Warwick. You resume your studies in Warwick with the 4th year; you must take the 4th year project plus at least 84 CATS of MA4 modules. This leads to the MMath degree from Warwick University.

Here are the relevant course regulations. The above programs are open to students enrolled in G100 and G103 only. There are further exchange programs open to other students, but they are run by the partner departments: Mathematics and Business Studies (with Intercalated Year) (G1N2), Mathematics and Economics (with Intercalated Year) (GL12), and Mathematics and Philosophy (with Intercalated Year) (GV18).

Erasmus exchanges are only possible with universities that have an official link with the Department of Mathematics, and there are strict restrictions on the number of students sent to each university. Universities with existing links with Warwick are:

Belgium: Université Libre de Bruxelles
