Study Abroad with Play Overseas
We provide a free service help student-athletes to experience both sport and education overseas.
As a study abroad student in the U.K. you’ll study in classes, go to lectures, seminars and tutorial classes with our other full-time students, and gain invaluable first-hand experience of studying in a different academic environment.
You will also get to experience the sporting culture of another country, represent your university in your selected sport and even look to join a local club!
You will also earn credit for the classes you pass during your time studying abroad!
Whether you wish to come to the U.K. to experience playing overseas or are simply a passionate sport fan and want to watch live Premier League matches, the U.K. has a great deal of sporting opportunities to offer.
As a study abroad student-athlete you will have the option to decide if you wish to compete during your time in the U.K. or take time away from your sport and enjoy your semester overseas.
For those that wish to compete, you can look to join your university team and in some sports, even a local club! We will help to link you with the coaches at your selected university should you wish to train with them once you arrive in the U.K.
Working with a wide range of universities across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland we are able to present a wide range of academic options to our Study Abroad students, allowing them to study almost any subject!
We will look to present options to match your both academic and sporting goals during your time abroad. You can identify your preferred area of study during the application process.
You can study abroad for the amount of time that best suits you. Study abroad for either one semester or a full academic year.

- One semester : A great way to sample a new culture.
