Career opportunities
Student exchange
Ever thought of spending part of your degree in another part of the world?
To promote international competence, it is expected that candidates will spend at least 3 months (usually in the 2nd semester) with our collaborating universities in Europe and other parts of the world. These institutions offer you exciting opportunities to study for one semester abroad, allowing a broader scope and diversity of topics than can be offered by a single university alone.
We are flexible and have dedicated staff who will do their best to help you with your stay abroad. The world is yours to explore!
