What is the difference between an exchange student and a degree-seeking student?

ottobre 23, 2012 in FAQ, GENERALS

An exchange student/staff is registered/employed at a university (home university) and temporarily studies/researches at a partner university (host university). The exchange period for students lasts from 1 semester to max. 10 months.

The exchange period for staff members is 1 month.

Exchange scholars do not obtain a diploma from the host institution.

Degree- seeking students will obtain a diploma from the host university in the EU. Students applying as degree students need to comply with the Host University entry requirements. The admission criteria are detailed under each course description at the point of application, and in the Partner Information Sheet.
