To be eligible for exchange studies via university wide agreements you need to meet all admission requirements.

Admission requirements

All applications are assessed according to the selection criterias described below.

Selection criteria

• Make sure that the university you want to apply to offers courses that are relevant for your studies. Some universities have course restrictions. For example, many universities do not offer courses in law or business for exchange students
• Make sure that you meet all the requirements for the university/universities you are planning to apply for. Some universities have language requirements (ex. French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese), some universities have strict grade requirements. The requirements are found in the agreement portal. Be sure to only apply to universities where you meet all the requirements.
  Agreement portal
• Only apply for universities that you can consider going to. You can apply for up to 5 universities in one application. You can also apply for less than 5 universities.
• For your first three choices you need to make a preliminary course proposal. The preliminary course proposal needs to be approved by your study counsellor/international coordinator/director of studies at your home department at SU.
  Departmental international coordinators
• If you are applying for exchange within Europe (CIVIS and/or Nordlys) your preliminary course proposal must consist of courses from one department/within one subject.
