It is very rare that space restrictions prevent students from traveling on exchange to one of the three partner institution they they prefer. We therefore encourage all students to ignore the number of places when setting up their own priority list.
Distribution of free places:
- Agreements with only free places: If we have more applicants for agreements with only free places, we will send an inquiry to the partner to accept more students from USN. Very often they do this. If not, the students with the highest grade point average will be given priority. If you do not have the highest grade point average, you will have the opportunity to travel on your 2nd or 3rd priority.
- Agreements with both free places and paid places: If we have more applicants for agreements with both free places and paid places, students with the highest grade point average will be given priority for the free places. Students who do not have the highest grade point average will be offered to travel through the payment places or travel to the partner on their 2nd or 3rd priority.
This is how the grade point average is calculated:
Bachelor students:
- Add together all the grades you have received in your bachelor's education at USN when the application deadline is February or 15 September.
- Divide the sum by the number of characters you put together
- This is your grade point average
Masterstudenter:
- Add up all the grades you have received in your master's education at USN when the application deadline is February or 15 September.
- Divide the sum by the number of characters you put together
- This is your grade point average
