Applications 2008-2009
How & When to Apply:
Most Study Abroad students
study at Reading for the full academic session from October until July, although
it is usually possible to put
together a coherent programme for students wishing to study at Reading for a
shorter period. A good alternative to a full
academic year is the period from October to March, i.e. the autumn and spring
terms.
The
Deadline
for Applications for entry onto the study abroad programme in the autumn term 2008 is 1 June 2008, although applications
can be submitted from 1 April 2008 when the module provision is published.
Applications for entry in
January 2009 should reach us not later than the second week of October 2008.
