Transatlantic Student Exchange: Outgoing Students

Would you like to spend a year in North America? Every year 30 to 40 Dundee undergraduate students take part in the Transatlantic Student Exchange (TSE) Scheme.

The Transatlantic Student Exchange Programme (TSE) is open to students for one semester or a full year in 2nd year.  In addition some students may be able to go for a single semester or a full year in their 3rd year.

Students currently in the first year of any of the following degree courses are eligible for the TSE programme:

• Bachelor of Accountancy (BAcc) from the School of Accountancy
• Master of Arts degrees (MA) from the Schools of Humanities, Psychology or Social & Environmental Sciences
• Degrees from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design
• Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) from the School of Engineering, Physics & Mathematics
• Bachelor of Science (BSc) from any school (note: if your major has a professional accreditation body, it is sometimes not possible to go on exchange in your third year)

The exchange program is not available to students studying on the following degree courses:

• Medicine and Dentistry
• Social Work
• Education
• Nursing
• Law
• Third year Psychology students who want BPS accreditation

The time spent abroad in America or Canada counts as the study and academic equivalent at the University of Dundee .

You gain the social and career benefit of an academic year abroad without losing any time in getting your degree and beginning your career.

You retain your entitlement to student loans while you are overseas and the additional cost may be less than you first think.

You will need to find the cost of your flight across the Atlantic, any travel you undertake over there, plus insurance, but you may be able to offset these costs to some extent by taking up part-time work during your study programme.

The current list of universities is shown below, click on the name for more information:

In November of each year we hold a Recruitment meeting for those first and second year students who are interested in the TSE programme. At the meeting, students who have been on the TSE scheme relate their experiences of living and studying in North America.
