Applying for University Exchange Programs
Depending on your field of study and the location of your exchange, the application deadlines and required documents may vary. The application instructions will tell you exactly what requirements apply and which documents you need to submit by when. This will help you be well prepared to start a successful application.
In particular, make sure to arrange your proof of language proficiency in good time, as it often takes a while to secure a test date and receive the results.
The current application instructions will be published about two months before the next application deadline. After the application deadline has expired, the instructions will remain online until the next update for guidance and orientation. Please make sure you follow the most recent version of the application instructions.
