Common Questions and Answers
I don't know where to start
Our First Steps Information Sessions are a great place to start if you have questions about Education Abroad!
In these sessions, we'll discuss everything you need to know to get started on your EA journey. E.g. how to select a program, earning credit abroad, cost, financial aid, scholarship information, and more! UK EA encourages all students starting this process to attend one of these sessions, and you must attend a First Steps session before meeting with your EA Advisor.

I want to find study abroad programs for my major/minor
Here's how to find programs that meet your major/minor or degree plan:
1. EA Major Advising Pages (MAPs) - Recommended
UK Education Abroad & Exchanges Has partnered with academic departments to identify programs that align with your degree plan. These are not the only programs available to you, but they are a good place to get started.

Example:
2. EA Program Discovery (Open Search)
Visit the EA Program Discovery page. You can search by keyword, or use the filter button to narrow down country, region, or by department.
I want to information about scholarships available to me
All available information regarding scholarships is available on the Browse Scholarships page.
