Trimester Exchanges
Research your exchange options
Spend some time in our portal researching which destination you want to go to. Start with the criteria that matters most to you. What are your top interests and goals? Do you imagine yourself in a big city or a natural setting? Filter by subject/area of study, duration, language, and many more to find programmes that suit your academic needs.
Book an appointment with an advisor
Talk to one of our advisors by making an online appointment. Our advisors will be able to give you more information on what options you have and will also guide you through the application process.
If you need specific help mapping your degree to best fit a global experience, our advisors can help with that too.
