How to apply for Study Abroad at Goldsmiths

The full range of Study Abroad programmes available

Study Abroad at Goldsmiths

Our Study Abroad programme gives international visiting students the opportunity to live, study and socialise with Goldsmiths undergraduate students for one or two terms, or the full academic year.

In this way, you'll take courses for academic credit as part of degree studies at your home university or college, and you can also be admitted as a graduate student. Generally, students will take four classes per term from a selection of disciplines.

You can apply by completing the Study Abroad application form and further details are on 'how to apply'.

London & the local area

Goldsmiths is in New Cross, in South East London zone 2. It has excellent public transport links and central London is just 15 minutes away by train.

The local area is known for its vibrant urbanism, and makes an ideal low-cost base for experiencing and enjoying the capital.

With green spaces, art galleries, great places to eat, and pubs and bars on your doorstep, New Cross has an eclectic community feel and offers a lot to explore.
