Incoming

Our deadline for incoming ERASMUS students wishing to study in Fall Semester will be May 25th 2012.

Click here to view our Study Abroad guide which is useful for all visiting students, including ERASMUS students..

We are delighted to welcome students from all over Europe who have chosen the University of East London as their exchange destination. With around 5,000 students from outside the UK we offer an international and inclusive environment in which to live and study. London is a cosmopolitan and vibrant city offering everything from theatres and a thriving club scene to art galleries and museums and much more.

You can only participate in an ERASMUS exchange period at UEL if your home institution has a bilateral agreement with the University of East London.

We are not entering into any new agreements, so if your institution does not have an ERASMUS agreement with us, you can not be an ERASMUS student at UEL. You can, however, apply for a Study Abroad place instead, paying fees, i.e as a 'Freemover'..

Please contact your own International or Exchange/Study Abroad Office in the first instance for further information. You will have to go through a selection process at your home university before submitting an application to the University of East London.

How to Apply

Important note: No applications or communication with students will be considered until we have received an official nomination from your home university that you have been selected to come to UEL on a current exchange programme.

If you have already been selected by your home university to participate in the Erasmus exchange programme, please complete the Erasmus application form and return it to the address below by the deadline indicated.

Evidence of English proficiency must accompany the application form. This can be a letter from your English Language teacher or another authority at your institution confirming that you have attained the appropriate level of English Language required to study at UEL. If this is not possible, you must achieve a satisfactory English Language qualification (IELTS 5.5, TOEFL IBT 79+).

Students from the following countries can be accepted if they have achieved particularly good grades in English from High School; Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Austria and Malta - please supply a copy of your High School transcript showing your final English grade.

Transcripts of your prior Bachelor studies must also accompany the application form. If you do not know what a transcript is, please contact your own institution.

• If you are applying for Art & Design, or Performing Arts modules, you will be required to submit a portfolio/film of your work. This can be in a file, on CD, or uploaded to a webspace of your choice.
• Art & Design students are advised to take a full year as most of our modules for this area are one-year long. For instance, if you commence studies with us in September, but for only one semester, you will not receive grades until the next summer, which may cause you problems at your home institution.

Our modules (information from UEL Combined Honours Office, last accessed 20/01/2012):

Level 1 (first year of UEL studies), click here

Level 2 (second year of UEL studies), click here

Level 3 (third and final year of UEL studies), click here

If you need to see detailed specifications of our modules, please contact us at erasmus@uel.ac.uk. Each one semester module is valued at 10 ECTS. Our double semester modules are valued at 20 ECTS.

Completed application forms should be sent to:

Study Abroad/Exchange Office
UEL International
University of East London
University Way
London E16 2RD
United Kingdom

Once we have reviewed and processed your application, we will send you your Acceptance Email including information about other relevant aspects of your study at UEL. As soon as you receive this information, you must complete the Learning Agreement, indicating the requirements of your home institution and selecting your proposed modules to make up their programme of study at the University of East London. It is your responsibility to check with your home university that you will receive credit for studies followed at the University of East London.

Do not panic if you have applied early, but not received your Acceptance - it is not unusual for a delay in this process due to our workflow.

If you have any queries email erasmus@uel.ac.uk.
