2E Exchange Semester<br />

2E.1 General Information<br />

1. <strong>The</strong> exchange semester takes place in the third year of your studies during the optional/<br />

minor semester. A regular exchange starts either in September/October (semester 1) or<br />

January/February (semester 2). An exchange must last at least 4 months or the<br />

duration of the semester at the university concerned. <strong>The</strong> student follows regular<br />

courses at the university amounting to a study load comparable with the study load at<br />

home (30 ECs). Assignments and examinations must be passed. <strong>The</strong> foreign university<br />

credits the students and the home university transfers these credits into our semester<br />

credit system.<br />

2. <strong>The</strong>re are a limited number of places at the foreign universities. <strong>The</strong>refore, a selection<br />

procedure takes place annually. All applicants will have to submit a motivation letter, an<br />

overview of their study results/ progress and a study coach recommendation. <strong>The</strong><br />

deadline for submission of the materials will be communicated through <strong>Stenden</strong><br />

Intranet.<br />

3. <strong>The</strong> foreign university takes care of accommodation in most cases.<br />

4. You will need enough money to cover the cost of living; rent, food, travel, books, social<br />

activities and this is usually more than you normally need here. Your bank account<br />

should be in excess of € 1500 to € 2500 before you leave, (or you should have access<br />

to funds to the sum of € 10.000, depending on your destination. For the USA a bank<br />

statement showing that you have access to the sum of $10,000 is required, or<br />

alternatively a declaration of financial support from your parents). Try to raise this<br />

money by saving, working, borrowing or finding sponsors. You will pay for your journey<br />

there and back by yourself.<br />

You do not have to pay Education or tuition fees. (You pay these fees at home).<br />

5. In some cases (Spain, France, Germany, Italy) the courses are not all given in English,<br />

so you need to be proficient in these languages if you want to visit these countries.<br />

6. You are required to be a fairly independent person who considers herself capable of<br />

functioning well in unfamiliar situations and who is aware of the consequences of living<br />

in a foreign culture. Your study mentor (study career coach) will be asked for a<br />

recommendation on this point.<br />

7. You also need to be aware of the extra value for you personally of studying abroad;<br />

please put into words what you expect and hope to get out of a foreign exchange.<br />

During your stay abroad you will be asked to complete a semester assignment in which<br />

you monitor your progress in terms of your personal experience of living in a different<br />

culture and the related language learning.<br />
