How to apply

 

Summer abroad 

Spending the summer abroad allows you to get a taste of living and working internationally without committing to a full year.

For academic queries, including joint honours options, contact your supervisor or the Departmental International Officer, Dr Matt Jenkins matthew.jenkins@york.ac.uk 

University-wide Exchanges

Undergraduate Archaeology students may also apply to study abroad at one of York’s University-wide partners, which are open to students from most other departments at the University.

Students taking an additional year (3+1) will still have their degree accredited by CIFA but those students taking a credit replacement year will not be accredited. For more information please contact the department.
