Are you thinking about studying abroad and interested in learning more about studying on exchange? We’re here to help you every step of the way – from deciding where to go to making the most of your exchange journey!

How Can You Get Started?

We offer various ways for you to explore exchange opportunities and find the best fit for you:

Attend an Information Session

These are your first steps to learning about how exchange works, hearing from past participants, and getting guidance on how to apply. It is mandatory to have attended one information session before you submit an application!

These sessions cover:

  • An overview of student exchange, including funding, fees, and how to select the right university
  • Practical tips on the application process
  • Advice from students who’ve been on exchange

We are offering two session formats that you can choose from whether you’d like to meet us in person on campus or join from anywhere online:
