The International Office Geosciences gives a Study Abroad presentation every year in October. The last presentation took place on Tuesday 22 October 2019. Have a look at the slides of this presentation.
The University International Office also organises study abroad presentations.
Take a look at the faculty and universitywide destinations for students at the Faculty of Geosciences.
The conditions you have to meet if you want to study abroad are the following:
As a Bachelor’s student it is advisable to discuss your plans with your Study Advisor before you make your application, especially your Study Plan and your destination. Your Study Advisor is:
You will find their contact information at the bottom of this page.
You have to upload your approved Study Plan when you make your application. If you are doing a Bachelor's programme, your plan has to be signed by your Study advisor (see contact details below) If you are doing a Master’s programme the study plan has to be signed by the programme coordinator. Make sure you add the mandatory courses with name, code and timeslot. Your study advisor will check if you are able to finish your programme in no more than four years.
The exam commission has to approve your choice of courses, after you are selected to study abroad. The exam commission will check for overlap with the courses you have done in Utrecht.
Please hand in your list of marks, after you return, at International Office Geosciences (international.geo@uu.nl) and include course descriptions and explanation. The exam commission will convert your marks and decide how much credits you have earned with the course you have done.
Grades you obtain abroad are converted to Pass or Fail. These results do not count towards your grade average. In addition, the original courses and grades are recorded in OSIRIS and printed on the International Diploma Supplement. You can find more information about this in the Education and Examination Regulations.
Courses at another university must be approved by the Board of Examiners beforehand. For approved courses, credits will awarded according to the number of EC obtained, based on the conversion in the conversion table. However, the Board of Examiners requires proof for determining the level of the courses.
For questions about study abroad not answered on this site, you can seek assistance from the International Office Geosciences (about language proficiency, finances, motivation etc.). For questions about study plans and exam regulations, please contact your study advisor.
