UNIC exchanges

You can go on student exchange in the other UNIC universities through Erasmus+ programme. Ask your faculty international coordinator for more information about the possible destinations in your study programme!

• University College Cork
• University of Deusto
• Erasmus University Rotterdam
• Koç University
• University of Liège
• Ruhr University Bochum
• University of Zagre

Check out the catalogue of courses taught in English to plan your exchange studies.

To set positive examples, UNIC will offer a Train Instead of Plane (TIP) grant scheme for students who commit to travelling by train (for distances over 350km). UNIC provide 15 grants per year for students who commit to traveling by train to take part in exchanges, seminars or other credit-awarding activities and other activities enabling networking between UNIC students.

By traveling by train instead of plane, you are not only helping the environment, you also get the opportunity to visit other countries and cities on the way!

The TIP Scheme will involve grants of €185 which equals the costs of an Interrail ticket for 3 days per month. Grant applications will first be selected (to see whether the train offers a sustainable alternative and fits the >350km rule) and then awarded in a lottery.

The grant applications are open now! Read more and apply by 15.5.2023 here.
