Undergraduate students of English may participate in the university's BA International programme.

Here is the relevant extract from the Faculty of Arts Prospectus:

The B.A. International is a four year programme involving a one year period of study in another European Union country or in the United States.

OBJECTIVE

The B.A. International will enable suitably qualified students to study, in the third year of the programme, both of their academic subjects in a University of another European Union country. Normally, a student taking the B.A. International Programme will be taking at least one modern continental language to degree level and will spend the year abroad studying that language and its literature, in a country where it is spoken, and also studying approved courses for their second subject through that same language with emphasis on the European/Continental dimension.

PROGRAMME DURATION

The programme is of four years duration
