Exchange step 3: to do after selection

Last updated on 4 July 2025
You have been selected to study abroad for a semester. After selection, VU International Office will nominate you at the partner university. Afterwards you will have to officially apply at the partner university and arrange practical matters for your exchange.

If you have been selected for an exchange semester, VU International Office will officially nominate you at the partner university. After you have been nominated, you will have to officially apply at the host university yourself. In the meantime, you will also have to ask the Examination Board of your faculty for approval of the courses you want to follow abroad and make practical arrangements, such as arranging your accommodation and possibly applying for a visa. Depending on where you go, you can also apply for a scholarship.
