Exchange Agreements for Student Mobility
Exchange agreements form the necessary basis for student exchanges. These can be concluded on a university-, faculty- or an institute-level, or within a single subject, with the corresponding entity at a partner university. When concluding a new exchange agreement, the following points should be taken into account:
- Students at both universities are potentially interested in an exchange program
- Good academic standing
- Agreement contributes to a regional expansion of the range of exchange opportunities
Global Student Experience (GSE) supports institutes and faculties in drafting and administering exchange agreements and maintains the Mobility Online database.
Other Forms of Cooperation
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is sufficient for other forms of cooperation that do not envisage student-exchange (for example research-cooperation, collaborative development of teaching- and continuing education programs etc.). Further forms of cooperation (including Cotutelle de These, double- or joint-degree programs etc.) require specific types of agreemements.
Global Affairs oversees the international agreements that govern these types of cooperation.
