Your destination will depend on the sort of degree you're taking. Join our Civil Engineering with a Modern Language course and you'll spend your entire third year living in Europe and learning civil engineering. Our MEng courses in Civil Engineering and Civil and Structural Engineering offer three months in Europe working on a design or research project. These links are part of the Erasmus programme of European student exchange. We have partnerships with universities across Europe, so take your pick from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden. If you're looking further afield, our Study Abroad programme could be for you. This opens up a world of possibility to students on our MEng Civil Engineering and Civil and Structural Engineering courses. Follow this path and you could spend your third year of study in Australia, Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore or the USA. |

My favourite parts of the year included scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, watching England win the Ashes, sailing the Whitsunday Islands and climbing the Story Bridge in Brisbane at sunset. I made so many amazing friends from all over the world and am very grateful to the University of Sheffield for the opportunity! Ashley Dudill |

I did my year abroad at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. I had the best year of my life and would highly recommend it to everyone.
