Your Options

As a compulsory part of your degree programme, you are required to spend semesters 4 and 5 away from EBS London. At least one of these semesters must be spent studying a language abroad in one of our partner institutions.  

There are five Study Period Abroad (SPA)* combinations you can choose from:

1. Two foreign language semesters at the same institution
2. Two foreign language semesters at two different institutions
3. One foreign language semester and one "English" semester
4. One foreign language semester and one "native speaker" semester
5. One foreign language semester and a " Placement Learning Project (PLP)"

* Please note that if you are a beginner in your chosen language, you MUST take two foreign language semesters (unless you are doing two core languages).

Foreign language semesters

All undergraduate students are required to spend at least one semester studying abroad while taking classes in the native language. According to the foreign language(s) you choose at EBS London, you may also wish to take further language classes while abroad to assist with your development.  

“English” semester

EBS London has an exchange agreement in several countries who teach classes in English. The location of these institutions can be found in every corner of the world, from Canada to Brazil, Demark to Australia. These programmes are only available to students who have an intermediate or advanced level in their chosen foreign language.          

Native speaker semester

You may also have the opportunity to spend your second SPA at an EBS London partner institution that teaches classes in your native language. These programmes are only available to students who have an intermediate or advanced level in their chosen foreign language.          

Placement Learning Project (PLP)

A popular alternative to an exchange programme is a PLP. Similar to an internship, you will be required to work within a foreign company/organisation. While working in a foreign language, you will be assigned work based projects by EBS London.
