Overseas ISEP Exchanges
Students wishing to study overseas may alternatively apply through ISEP (International Student Exchange Programs). ISEP Exchange offers opportunities for most students, regardless of their degree programme, with a choice of over 200 institutions in the USA and elsewhere. You will need to ensure that your chosen institution offers appropriate modules, and that these are approved by your Programme Leader or Academic Study Abroad Adviser.
Students who are selected for an ISEP placement on the basis of their online application will need to submit a further application to ISEP at a later date. On this you may list up to 10 choices of university and ISEP will do their best to place you at one of these.
Please read this guide for help with identifying potential destinations for your subject area through ISEP.
How does it work?

Who should I contact?
Come along to a study abroad drop-in session or contact the Global Mobility Team studyabroad@napier.ac.uk for further information, advice on possible study destinations and help with filling in the online application form.
No student is permitted to participate in an exchange programme unless they have the approval of their Programme Leader or Academic Study Abroad Adviser. You should arrange a meeting with him/her at an early stage to discuss your plans including potential destinations and module choices abroad. They will need to approve your online application, and will consider the following when deciding whether to support you:
- Your academic performance
- Course compatibility and implications if you do not pass all modules
- Whether you would be a good ambassador for Edinburgh Napier University
- Attendance record
- Your motivation for going on exchange, i.e. whether you have researched online, discussed with family, friends, and previous exchange students and thought things through
