How can I find courses for my exchange?

Finding cources that can be fitted to your degree when applying for an exchange can be a challenge for some. Here are some tips on how to proceed:

You can find "previous courses that have been approved" for your study programme for the partner you want to travel to.

If you want to read more about these courses, or find other courses, you must check the course catalog of the partner university. Read up on the topics!

Tips for finding topics:

  • Erasmus partners in Europe and partners in non-English speaking countries often have a limited range of subjects taught in English. These can be put together into finished "subject packages" corresponding to 30 credits per semester. If not, you need to pick a composition of different topics. Check with your study advisor and programme coordinator whether these can be pre-approved into your degree.
     
  • Our partner institutions in English-speaking countries often have Bachelor's and Master's programmes where you can in principle apply for subjects in the entire course catalog:
    • Are you a Bachelor student? Look for 2nd and 3rd year subjects (3rd and 4th year subjects in the USA). These usually have a three- or four-digit code that starts at 2, 3 or 4, depending on which school year they are taught.
    • Are you a Master's student? Feel free to look for subjects with a code that starts at 4 or 5 (in the US: 5 or 6).


NB: Level 1 courses in the US are equivalent to advanced courses and will not be approved!

The subjects must be filled in your Learning agreement and pre-approved by the programme coordinator after you have been nominated and before you apply to your partner university. More information about this can be found in our CANVAS room. Log in and take a look!
