Study & Internship Abroad
Important update about study abroad 2021-2022
- Study exchange 2021-2022 (minor abroad - thematic minor)
-
More information about the decision to allow exchange activities for the first semester of the academic year 2021-2022 will become available in the beginning of May. Until then, we ask students to refrain from making any financial arrangements.
Free minor abroad - thematic minor
Because we cannot predict the situation and possible easing around Covid-19 in the autumn of 2021, we recommend that students selected for an exchange programme 2021-2022 have a backup plan. We find ourselves in unprecedented and challenging times and appreciate your understanding and patience. If you need advice please contact your faculty exchange coordinator.
Normally, it is not possible for selected students to be registered for both a free minor abroad and a thematic minor, but because of the situation surrounding covid-19, an exception has been made for bachelor students selected for an exchange in 2021-2022. This makes it possible to be temporarily registered for both a free minor abroad and a thematic minor. Students can register for thematic minors via the regular registration procedures.
More information can be found on the minor website.
