Ever thought of spending part of your degree in another part of the world?
Our cooperation with universities in Europe and other parts of the world can offer you exciting opportunities to study one or two semesters abroad. If you do not want to go on exchange for an entire semester, you can do a summer school and take one or two courses. You can also spend 15 weeks on a work placement abroad as part of your undergraduate studies in your last semester. Another work placement opportunity is in the summer between your second and third year of study where you can do an internship in Brazil. If you have questions about your possibilities, please contact the international advisor at your faculty.
