The Study and Work Away Service
The Study and Work Away Service provides administrative support to those participating in a broad range of international activities, including:
- Edinburgh students on exchanges or placements abroad
- Edinburgh staff who support students going on exchanges or placements
- International applicants planning to come to the University of Edinburgh through one of our study abroad programmes.

Applications to the NICE Programme are now open! Work virtually with students for across Europe to solve Global challenges and have the chance to attend an in-person summer school in Padova, Italy.

Receive funding to take part in a short-term international experience this summer! Activities include internships, volunteering, conferences, cultural activities and research. Find out more and apply.
