Our core curriculum helps students look at the world with empathy and confidence; to listen, take the lead and challenge stereotypes. There is no better place to practice these skills than studying overseas.

We offer the opportunity to study the core curriculum abroad with previous locations including Rome, Beijing, New York or Leeds.
