Admission requirements

Admission as an exchange or study abroad student is based on a number of factors.

1. Nomination by home university (only for students from partner universities)

Not applicable for independent fee-paying study abroad students, or if you are applying for a traineeship, research project or internship.
Be aware that some exchange agreements are limited to a specific faculty or discipline, which means you will not be able to follow courses at other faculities/institutes. Check with your home university coordinator whether there are limitations on the type of courses you may follow.

You should have completed at least two years of university education.
You must have a GPA of at least 3.2 out of 4.0 (or equivalent).
