Exchange students in the United Kingdom select what subjects they want to study. Students who study in the Sixth Form (most senior part of high school) can select their favorite subjects to study. Students can reject subjects they find boring or difficult. There are many interesting and exciting subjects for students to choose from.

Exchange students often follow the instructions of their guidance counsellor and study the same subjects as they would have done back home. Most traditional academic subjects taught in Europe and North America are also taught in the United Kingdom - for example, humanities and social sciences, mathematics and science and creative and artistic subjects.

However, exchange students can study new and different subjects that may not be taught in their own country. In recent years, modern and contemporary subjects and skill based and professional studies have been offered as alternative subjects in many United Kingdom Sixth Forms.

The subjects available to study vary from one school to another. Exchange Students normally choose 4 or 5 subjects to study.

Exchange students in the United Kingdom can gain official recognition and accreditation for their studies when they return home. To gain credits, exchange students have to study similar subjects in the United Kingdom to what classes they are missing from school in their home country whilst in the United Kingdom. Before arriving in the United Kingdom, students should discuss with their guidance counsellors what subjects they need to study as part of their school timetable.

Once exchange students arrive in the United Kingdom, our team of student coordinators liaise with schools to arrange school timetables for students. Student coordinators help exchange students to select subjects recommended by guidance counsellors in their home country. If not all subjects are available in the United Kingdom, student coordinators help students to select the most suitable alternatives in adjacent or overlapping subject areas.

Schools in the United Kingdom can provide academic transcripts for exchange students at the end of their programme, confirming the subjects and levels studied. Study Abroad United Kingdom can provide supporting documentation, verifying participation in the programme and extra-curricular activities. Such documentation is usually sufficient for students to gain credits for exchange programmes in their home country.

Highlights
