Exchange studies
Students studying at one of our partner universities with a formal bilateral student exchange agreement have the opportunity to be nominated by their home university for an exchange period at ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ. The exchange period can be for one or two semesters (a half year or whole year).
Study Abroad
In contrast to exchange studies, the term Study Abroad is used for a tuition-based, one-way mobility programme. This includes tailored course packages and programmes for universities, national scholarship programmes or other organisations enabling students to study for a short-course, one semester or up to a one-year period at ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ. We also offer course packages open to individual students who wish to have a unique study abroad period at ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ.
