Application timeline

Admission and documentation requirements

You will need to be nominated

The exchange programmes at UCN welcome students enrolled in our many partner institutions around the world to spend a semester studying with us. You will be able to study with us through EU's mobility programme Erasmus+ or a bilateral agreement.

Talk to the international office at your home institution to find out, if UCN is a partner. Your home institution must then contact UCN to nominate you as a candidate for partner-exchange.

Not from a partner institution?

Academic match

Your home institution and UCN will carefully evaluate, if UCN's exchange programme matches the academic scope and curriculum of the programme you are enrolled in at home. This evaluation also helps us ensure that each course or activity you complete is eligible for credit at your home institution.

Number of ECTS completed to study at 1st semester

You will need to have completed 2 years = 120 ECTS of study to attend the 1st semester of this top-up programme.

Number of ECTS completed to study at 2nd semester

You will need to have completed 2,5 years = 150 ECTS of study to attend the 2nd semester of this top-up programme.

Native speakers are exempted - but need an official letter

If English is your first language, you are exempted from language testing. Instead you will need to obtain an official letter from your home institution confirming that you are following a fully English-taught programme.

1: Learning agreement

There are different learning agreements depending on whether you are applying for exchange through EU's mobility programme Erasmus+ or another bilateral agreement:

What is a learning agreement?
A learning agreement is a plan that details what courses or research/training/teaching activities you intend to achieve during your exchange at UCN. Your learning agreement must be approved and signed by both your home institution and yourself.

2: Academic transcript of records

Must be in English.

3: Courses in progress

Provide a list of courses you are currently studying.
See example (PDF).

4: Your CV

Make sure to include all relevant work and educational experience.

5: A copy of your national ID

E.g. your passport.

6: English test or official letter

Please see the admission requirement "English Proficiency" to learn more about accepted tests and documentation.

Tuition and fees

Exchange students do not have to pay tuition because it is typically an exchange of one or more students between partner universities and/or funded by EU's mobility programme Erasmus+.
