The receiving institution will help with the accommodation arrangements. Studies completed during the exchange will be included in the students' degree. Application times and procedures vary in different exchange programmes. The Faculty of Education coordinates Erasmus, Nordplus, North-South-South and KOR-EU programmes and application deadlines are in February for the following Fall and Spring semesters. With Erasmus and Nordplus, there will also be an additional round of applications in September-October for the following Spring semester.
