• U21 universities are recognised amongst the leading research intensive universities  in the world
   
• Each university recognises each others’ courses and this eases credit transfer
   
• U21 universities collaborate on a number of different projects in addition to student exchange and these all contribute to strong collegial relations and trust between members
   
• As a U21 exchange student you may be eligible to receive a special U21 scholarship from your home university
   
• U21 student mobility programmes encourage and develop a flexible approach to learning and working and makes excellent preparation for employment or further study
   
• The U21 experience allows you to become immersed in another culture; make new friends; develop skills which will contribute to your employability and possibly improve your knowledge of another language
   
• You will acquire life skills which cannot be taught and the overall educational advantages of studying your subject at an overseas U21 university will enhance your employability

"From my personal experience and from talking to others that studied abroad, I can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to be part of the U21 programme."

 Matthew Burrows, University of Nottingham on exchange at the University of Queensland.

“I would go again in a heartbeat, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an adventure.”

Katherine Truss, UQ on exchange at the University of Virginia
