How much an exchange costs depends on where you go, for how long, what you study and your lifestyle when you get there.
When you take part in an exchange organised by Manchester Met, you still pay your tuition fees to us - but don’t pay any to your host university.
They may ask you to pay for some study materials, language classes or optional projects, which you will be told about when making your application. If you’re studying a full year abroad, you may qualify for a substantial reduction in your tuition fees paid to us, which can help with additional expenses.
As you would in the UK, you’ll still have to pay your living costs - accommodation, food and travel - and you may need vaccinations as well as travel and health insurance. You’ll also need to get a visa and a passport, both of which have their own costs.
Living costs very much depend on where you go and for how long. Some countries will need proof that you can pay your living costs when considering your visa application, such as savings statements, student loan agreements and sponsorship letters.
