Study Abroad - The Gateway Programme
The RBS London Gateway Programme offers students the
opportunity to study abroad for one academic semester as part of
their 3 year BA (Hons) degree.
This exciting programme, so called because each destination
represents a ‘gateway’ to economies and geographical markets across
the globe, represents a unique opportunity to study abroad at an
internationally renowned university or business school. The study
period abroad replaces semester 4 of your RBS London BA (Hons)
degree.
Our Gateway Partners have been carefully
selected on the basis of academic standing, international outlook
and compatibility of their degree modules.
We believe that this is an exciting
opportunity for our students to travel and experience new cultures
whilst gaining additional insight into academic and business
practices in different cultural contexts. All study options
are taught in English.
Who is The Gateway Programme?
This programme has been designed for
academically strong students who want to incorporate a further
cross-cultural experience into their academic careers. Eligibility
for this programme is based on a minimum grade requirement of 60%
for the first three semesters, in addition to students maintaining
an exemplary conduct record as ambassadors for RBS London.
During your study period abroad, you will take
classes that relate to your chosen academic pathway therefore
please note that not every partner institution will be available to
every student. You will receive personal support and guidance from
the International Partnerships Office (IPO) in preparation for your
study period abroad.
