Ask these questions before applying
Exchange programmes often involve both a home and host institution. A nomination deadline can occur weeks before the public deadline, so contact your international office early.
Is home-university nomination required?
Will credits transfer to your degree?
Which tuition and living costs are covered?
Are language courses included?
What visa and insurance documents are needed?
Protect your degree progress
Ask your academic department to confirm in writing how proposed host courses will transfer. Course availability can change, so prepare alternatives that still meet your home-degree requirements.
Check the academic calendar, assessment dates and housing period before booking travel. An exchange grant may arrive after departure, which means you may need a temporary cash plan even when funding is approved.
Budget beyond the programme grant
Compare flights, visa or residence fees, insurance, housing deposits, local transport and exchange-rate risk. Ask whether tuition is waived at the host institution and which fees remain payable at home.
Build one exchange timeline
Record the internal nomination deadline separately from the host or funding deadline. Ask your academic department to approve likely courses before travel where possible.
Keep alternative courses and a realistic budget because schedules, accommodation and funding decisions can change after nomination.
Official sources and verification
Source records support the guide. Page update dates describe editorial changes; they do not mean every linked rule was checked again today. Reopen the current call for your programme and intake.
It depends on the agreement. Some continue paying the home institution, some pay the host, and some programmes waive specific fees. Obtain written fee information.
Does nomination guarantee acceptance?+
No. A home institution nomination can be followed by host admission, funding, document and visa decisions.
