Exchange Students
An exchange student can be defined as a student doing a limited period of study or training abroad (in the framework of ongoing studies at the home institution).
It definitely increases your linguistic and social skills and well as your maturity, confidance and self-esteem.
Having an International experience has a positive impact in your future career and it’s a mind opened for an increasingly global world.
Some advantages of an exchange period:
- Linguistic skills development
- Knowledge of new cultures;
- Personal growth.
Incoming Students
To do an exchange you must be following studies at one of our partner institutions under the umbrella of an Inter-Institutional agreement (Erasmus +) or of a Cooperation Protocol.
You will need to apply through your own Higher Education Institution irrespective of the kind of mobility activity you are interested in. The International Office of your Institution will be able to inform you about the conditions to participate, details of the selection criteria and documents needed. Under no circumstances is it possible to do a partial period of study as a free mover, that is, outside the framework of an existing program or protocol.
What choices do I have
Erasmus +
It’s the most important exchange program covering a wide range of opportunities for students and teaching and non-teaching staff to study, to do teaching assignments or training abroad. It provides also additional opportunities under the previous Erasmus Mundus Program for full master’s degrees through scholarships for Joint Master Degrees. The program is covering now not only the EU countries, and a number of partner countries to regular Erasmus mobility or under ICM (International Credit Mobility).
