🌎Before Application

  • Note: Students enrolled at our university may participate in exchange programs a maximum of two times within the same academic level (e.g., undergraduate, master’s, doctoral). Each exchange is limited to one semester. Students wishing to study abroad for one full academic year must apply twice and resubmit all required documents. However, there is no guarantee that they will be admitted to the same host university for the second semester, as placements are assigned based on applicants’ grades for each semester’s application round.

The List of Partner Universities for the Fall Semester 2026 will be updated continuously, with update dates indicated.
