Step 1. Orientation

the most up-to-date information can be found on the travel and exchange page

In order to participate in an exchange, you have to meet the following criteria:

• You must remain registered with Utrecht University as a full-time student, and pay tuition fee;  
• You must be enrolled at the UU and have access to your Solis ID and Osiris at the moment you apply for your exchange; (if not, please contact the International Office);
• You must have completed at least 60 ECTS (bachelor, when varies per faculty);
• The courses you will follow abroad must be brought into your study programme at Utrecht University;
• Your study programme will have additional conditions. Make sure you check these before starting your application!

It is very important to plan your exchange carefully, taking the following aspects into account:

• In which semester do you want to go?
• The academic calendar of your host university may differ from that of Utrecht University. To avoid conflicts with your overall study schedule, you need to consider this well in advance.
• Discuss your study plans with your Study Advisor or Tutor.

The first deadline for application for exchange (in round 1) is always on December 1st the academic year before! This means that when you would like to go on exchange in academic year 2023-2024, you would have to apply in Osiris before December 1st 2022 - 11:59:59 PM (because the academic year before is 2022-2023).

After the December 1st deadline has ended, you can still apply for an exchange destination on a first-come,-first-served basis. Information on how and when to apply will follow. Available places will be published online in due time. Note: popular destinations will be full after December 1st.

*UCU and UCR have a different application procedures and deadlines
