No. You can only go to a partner university. 

A partner university is a university that Strathclyde has an agreement with and work together to send each other students on exchange.

No. This will depend on your subject area and whether or not you can take classes relevant to your degree. If you are a joint honours student you can look at destinations for both subject areas. You can find more information about this on our MyPlace page.

No. Many partner universities have classes in English. You can check their class lists to see what classes are taught in English. Where they require some language level, they are generally looking for you to have B1 or B2. You can take French, Spanish, Italian or Chinese as an elective at Strathclyde in preparation. 

It is your responsibility to organise your travel. You can decide on how to get there using sites like rome2rio and check which flights are best through google flights, skyscanner, kiwi or other price comparison sites. Remember not to book any travel until you have your acceptance and any visa has been confirmed. 

The type of accommodation depends on where you are going. Some Universities only allow you to stay on campus (many of the USA partner universities) and others do not have any student accommodation and you will stay in an apartment or private student halls. The student feedback on Myplace is the best source of information about the situation at your future host university/city and how to find accommodation. 

It depends on where you are going. If you already have an EU passport (for example, an Irish or Spanish passport), you won’t require a visa to study in Europe. You will just need to apply for a residency permit when you arrive. However, if you only have a UK passport, any stay over 90 days requires a visa in Europe. Other countries will depend on their entry requirements but the majority require some type of visa or student permit. You can find the links to the appropriate consulate or embassy under ‘entry requirements’ on the FCDO travel advice pages.
