Exchange programmes to go to foreign unis at Warwick?
I herd that there are opportunities to study at foreign unis like the business school offers some North American Exchange Programme but how easy is it to get on these programmes for? Are they really competitive to get on and what criteria do they select people on. Has anyone been on any, are they worth it?

3 Warwick Business School (undergad) students are sent to Wharton Business School each year as exchange students. Alternatively, 3 Wharton Students attend the same length of time at Warwick Business School.
I was an exchange student at Warwick from Stanford. I had the best of time at Warwick. The prof was great. The academic materials were great. The campus was amazing. The students were fun and smart. The campus facilities were also good. I can say that Warwick is a world-class school. Stanford is just a more prestigious school.

Actually one was to be sent to Wharton this year.

Out of interest, can you go on an exchange with any degree? If you're going on an exchange to the likes of Wharton, you must be doing a business degree?
^ As far as I know, the tie-up university has a list of program/courses that you can only enroll as an exchange student, so you've got to check what kind of program does the tie-up university offers for Warwick students. If you're from Stanford wishing to study in Warwick as an exchange student, the option is much wider. I'm not sure if it is the same for other universities e.i. Warwick and Pomona College or Warwick and University of the Philippines.

Which universitites can you go to for an exchange year?
At Stanford, we can go anywhere we want to go. We can go IN-STATE (UC Berkeley, Harvey Mudd College, UCLA, UC San Diego), OUT-OF-STATE (Columbia in New York, Rice in Texas, Harvard in Massachusetts) or INTERNATIONAL/out of the country (Warwick, UK; Oxford or Cambridge, UK; University of the Philippines; National University of Singapore; University of Tokyo; Beijing University; Grand Ecole, France). The choices are infinitesimal, so to speak, so long as the student is willing to extend his program length in case the university/school he intends to go to does have a different school calendar.
I believe Warwick has as much wide options as has Stanford’s; you just need to inform your college so that in return, your college (Warwick) will notify the university where you intend to attend.
However, please bear in mind, that some (or maybe a lot) of US schools, especially the very prestigious ones such as HYPSM plus Wharton, Caltech, Haas-Berkeley, Williams and Amherst, are very competitive for exchange student applicants because aside from the limited slots available for exchange students, the number of applicants are quite huge.
As a head’s up: Stanford is very friendly to exchange students as the school encourages its students to participate in the school’s exchange student program. A number of Stanford students attend schools in other countries before they graduate. But let me warn you too that Stanford, Palo Alto is an upscale surrounding, so I suggest that if you want to attend a program at Stanford, you must have a good budget and your parents must be very willing to support you financially.
If you don't have that much budget, there are very good universities in Southeast Asia that offer excellent academic training but very affordable to many British students. These are the Universiti Malaya in Malaysia, The National University of Singapore, The University of the Philippines in Diliman and Manila and Chulalongkorn University in Thailand. These are the National universities in their respective countries and they are very prestigious universities in Asia. I believe all these four national universities would be extremely happy to offer you a place as an exchange student from Warwick.
Aside from those 4 universities, there are also excellent universities in India and China. I'm sure Warwick has got arrangements with some of the finest schools in those 2 countries.
If you're not willing to learn another language because you're English... your best options are the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and India. Those are the only countries in Asia where English is widely spoken. In the Philippines, even a taxi driver can communicate with you in English. The majority of the people in Thailand, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong do not speak English and it could be a pain in the @ss to live their for a semester or year. However, those are very nice countries and they have very good universities there too.

If you're on an exchange program, say with Stanford, are they likely to give you financial support whilst you're there?

You wouldn't have to pay for Stanford's enrollment fees if it's a part of your undergrad program. Stanford tuition fee is very expensive, so if you get to waive the tuition fees, that would be a huge financial help for you.
There's a Wharton-Warwick tie-up program. (Wharton is one of the top 3 business schools in the US. Harvard and Stanford are the other 2) I've been told that the students participating on the program wouldn't have to pay for the Wharton tuition because it's already part of the payments you made at Warwick. I'm not sure if you get stipend or any additional allowances for participating in the program though. But the tie-up program is arranged in such a way that the participating students wouldn't find it costly. Tie-up programs are usually tailored programs for students' needs and thus they’re cheaper than what the average students are paying. By average I mean a Stanford student paying for his tuition at Stanford.
Here's a good blog of a Warwick student in the US:
Philip Craig, 22, is in his final year of BSc Management at WBS. Earlier in his studies he took the bold step of applying for an extra year's study with one of WBS's exchange partners in North America. He was successful in getting a place, and has certainly made the most of his time. Here he reports on the outcomes following this decision.
"I went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison during 2006-7 as an intercalated year to my degree. The undergraduate exchange scheme seemed dauntingly competitive - a packed induction room of about 50 people were told of fewer than 10 places to study in the US and Canada, so I really had to work out why I wanted to go (and get into more debt).

I'm an exchange student from Queen's University in Canada
Generally students from my Uni go on exchange during their third year of study. It is quite competitive and they assess not only your marks but your extra curricular activities as well. You have to have references from your second year professors and a personal statement explaining why you deserve to go on exchange and why you think it will be beneficial to your undergraduate degree. But the application process isn't too long, it only takes a couple of months, but you rarely get your first choice. Warwick was my fourth choice.
I don't know how it works on the other end, but that's how it worked for me in Canada....we had a lot of exchange partners to choose from
St. Andrews, UCD, Queen's Belfast, Edinburgh, Sciences-Po in Paris, Harvard etc. those are just a few. They give you priority based on how strong your application is....if you don't meet the criteria, you don't qualify to go on exchange.

The university of Warwick isn't in London - read thoroughly the sites of those universities in London.
