Visiting Students

The Department of Chemistry has extensive links with institutions throughout the world. Each year 20 – 25 visiting students spend periods in the Department many through the ERASMUS and other exchange programmes.

The Department aims to be as flexible as possible in meeting your academic needs as a visiting student. The easiest option is to choose from the list of modules available to York Chemistry students though it may well be possible to choose only some components from particular modules. However, you should remember that there may be timetabling constraints if you choose modules from different years of our programmes. Bear in mind that 1 ECTS credit is equivalent to 2 York credits in working out what is an appropriate workload each term.

Laboratory classes are an integral part of the Core Modules in years 1 and 2. There are specific practical modules in years 3 and 4. We can also offer research projects designed for visiting students. These can be carried out at any time during the year, not just during the teaching terms.

Please contact the visiting student team at chem-exchanges@york.ac.uk if you need any more information.
