3 Praktiske bemærkninger (English translation follows below) På de følgende sider kan du læse om hvilke muligheder, du har for at komme til udlandet samt hvordan, du bærer dig ad med at søge en udvekslingsplads. Læs venligst disse sider, før du går i gang med at lave din ansøgning. Studieophold i udlandet dine muligheder Der findes flere muligheder for at tage et studieophold i udlandet alt efter dine ønsker, behov og økonomi. Den mest oplagte mulighed for at komme til udlandet er gennem udvekslingsaftaler. Udveksling betyder, at to universiteter vælger at bytte studerende for en kortere periode og dermed ikke opkræver undervisningsafgift for hinandens studerende. Du har selvfølgelig også mulighed for selv at arrangere dit ophold udenom sådanne programmer, men i så fald skal du være opmærksom på, at du skal finansiere evt. undervisningsafgifter selv. Erasmus studieophold Erasmus er et EU finansieret udvekslingsprogram, der baserer sig på individuelle aftaler mellem universiteter indenfor EU, Island, Liechtenstein, Norge og Tyrkiet. Schweiz deltager på særlige vilkår. SDU har indgået en lang række aftaler med forskellige universiteter i Europa. I det følgende kan du se hvilke pladser, du har mulighed for at søge. Vær opmærksom på, at opholdet enten kan være et enkelt semester eller et helt akademisk år. Opholdet kan altså ikke begynde i foråret og fortsætte i efteråret. For at blive Erasmus studerende skal du være borger eller have permanent opholdstilladelse i et af de deltagende lande. Bliver du Erasmus studerende modtager du samtidig et stipendium på ca. 800 euro pr. semester, du er af sted. Oversøiske studieophold Såfremt du ønsker at læse udenfor Europa, har du mulighed for at søge en af vores oversøiske pladser. Får du en oversøisk udvekslingsplads gennem SDU, modtager du et rejsestipendium fra universitetets internationaliseringspulje. Vær opmærksom på, at de fleste oversøiske pladser fordeles til ansøgningsrunden 1. november. Du vil derfor kun kunne finde enkelte restpladser ved 1. marts runden. Disse annonceres særskilt på hjemmesiden. Ved nogle oversøiske aftaler står der i bemærkningerne, at Study Abroad er en mulighed. Dette betyder, at SDU studerende kan få rabat, hvis de vælger at læse ved universitetet som betalende gæstestuderende. Study Abroad kan være en mulighed, hvis du ikke kunne få den gratis udvekslingsplads men er villig til at betale for at komme til det pågældende sted. Nordiske studieophold De nordiske lande har et tæt uddannelsessamarbejde og der findes mange muligheder for udveksling under det såkaldte Nordplus program. Nordplus er en form for paraplynetværk, der indeholder en række små fagspecifikke netværk. Bagerst i kompendiet kan du se hvilke netværk, SDU deltager i. Der følger også et stipendium med til studerende, der rejser indenfor Nordplus programmet. Selvarrangerede ophold Har du et ønske om at læse i et bestemt land eller på et bestemt universitet i udlandet, som SDU ikke samarbejder med, har du mulighed for at selv at arrangere et studieophold til det pågældende sted. I så fald er du ikke udvekslingsstuderende, og du skal selv sørge for kontakt, ansøgning og optagelse på det pågældende sted. Desuden skal du være opmærksom på, at du højest sandsynligt skal betale undervisningsafgift til værtsuniversitetet. Hvis du modtager SU, kan du til dækning af undervisningsafgifter søge om tilskud gennem udlandsstipendieordningen. Hvis ikke du får udlandsstipendium, kan du ansøge om et mindre rejsestipendium fra Internationaliseringspuljen. Nogle af vores samarbejdspartnere giver rabat til SDU studerende på selvarrangerede ophold. Disse er nævnt under afsnittet study abroad. Hvis du laver et selvarrangeret ophold (mod betaling) ved et af de universiteter, som SDU samarbejder med (og som ikke er nævnt under Særlig Aftaler), så husk alligevel at oplyse, at du kommer fra SDU. Måske kan det give fordele/rabat, selvom vi ikke pt. er bekendt med det. Praktikophold i udlandet dine muligheder Flere og flere studerende vælger også at tage på praktik i udlandet, enten som en obligatorisk del af deres uddannelse eller som erstatning for et valgfag. Et praktikophold i udlandet er en god mulighed for både at få erhvervserfaring og opbygge internationale kompetencer. Såfremt du får merit for opholdet, har du mulighed for at søge om økonomisk støtte gennem Det internationale Kontor. 3

4 Erasmus praktikophold Erasmus praktik er et EU program for universitetsstuderende, der ønsker at tage på praktik som led i deres uddannelse. Praktikken skal foregå indenfor EU, Island, Liechtenstein, Norge eller Schweiz, men ambassader og andre officielle repræsentationer samt EU institutioner ligger udenfor programmets rammer. Forud for praktikopholdet skal der indgås en aftale mellem SDU, praktikstedet og den studerende om indholdet af praktikken. EU bevilger et stipendium på ca. 250 euro om måneden til meritgivende ophold under denne ordning. Andre praktikophold Tager du i praktik i udlandet udenom Erasmus programmet (fx på en ambassade), kan du søge et rejsestipendium fra universitetets internationaliseringspulje (se bagerst i hæftet), såfremt opholdet er forhåndsgodkendt. Sådan bruger du dette hæfte Listerne over studiepladser i udlandet er fordelt på hhv. Erasmus pladser og oversøiske pladser. Begge lister er primært inddelt efter land og dernæst universitet. Målgruppe Umiddelbart under partnerinstitutionen kan du se, hvilke studieretninger, udvekslingspladsen er rettet mod. Nogle steder er målgruppen defineret som et helt fakultet, i andre tilfælde er studiepladsen forbeholdt en mere snæver kreds af studerende. Dette betyder ikke nødvendigvis, at studerende fra andre retninger ikke må søge pladsen, men du skal i så fald vælge fag, der ligger indenfor målgruppens fagområde. Studerende indenfor den nævnte målgruppe har dog altid førsteret til pladsen. Antal pladser, varighed og niveau I den efterfølgende kolonne kan du se antallet og varigheden af de studiepladser der udbydes. I langt de fleste tilfælde er varigheden 1 semester, men nogle gange kan der godt stå helt akademisk år. Dette betyder ofte, at det både er muligt at læse et helt år eller kun et semester, men det er i sidste instans varigheden af kurserne, der er afgørende. Vær opmærksom på, at semestrene ikke nødvendigvis følger de samme datoer som på SDU. I nogle lande begynder forårssemestret allerede i januar, hvilket kan være et problem, hvis du skal tage eksamener på SDU. Du kan ikke regne med at kunne ankomme senere end semesterstart, så det er vigtigt, at du undersøger, hvornår semestret begynder, før du søger ud i foråret. Bemærk også, at pladserne er mærket graduate eller undergraduate. Hvis du læser på bachelorniveau, kan du således kun søge pladser, der er markeret som "undergraduate", og hvis du læser på kandidatniveau, skal du primært kigge efter graduate pladser. Ved oversøiske studieophold på kandidatniveau skal du være opmærksom på, at nogle universiteter i f.eks. USA, Canada og Australien kræver, at du har gennemført din BA allerede på ansøgningstidspunktet, og ikke blot forventer at gøre det kort før det semester, du planlægger at rejse ud. Kontakt venligst Det internationale Kontor for at få mere at vide herom. Undervisningssprog og øvrige bemærkninger Den sidste kolonne med bemærkninger kan også indeholde vigtig information om det pågældende universitet. I de tilfælde, hvor vi prævist ved hvilket sprog, der undervises i, står det i denne kolonne. De fleste universiteter udbyder i dag undervisning på engelsk, men det er vigtigt, at du undersøger det mere præcist på universitetets hjemmeside. Ansøgningsproceduren sådan gør du Ofte kan det være en lang og træg proces at komme til udlandet, men så snart eventyret begynder, glemmer de fleste alt om besværet indtil da. Selvom der er tale om studiepladser, er det stadigvæk dig som studerende, der skal tage initiativ og sørge for, at udlandsopholdet bliver bragt i stand. Nedenfor kan du læse, hvordan du skal bære dig ad skridt for skridt. Forbered dig grundigt Brug dette hæfte til at undersøge, dine muligheder i forhold til dit studie, dine sprogkundskaber og rejselyst. Gå derefter på jagt efter flere oplysninger om de universiteter, du kan sætte kryds ved. Brug universiteternes hjemmesider til at finde information om fag og undervisningssprog (find links på vores hjemmeside), og kom forbi Det internationale Kontor for at låne brochurer eller opholdsrapporter fra de respektive steder. Vores erfaring viser, at det sværeste skridt på vejen er at finde fag, så det er vigtigt, at du er grundig, når du søger informationer. Vær dog opmærksom på, at du muligvis ikke kan finde fag for 4

5 det kommende semester endnu men her må du forsøge at bruge oplysninger fra tidligere semestres fagudbud. Lav en learning agreement med opstillet studieprogram Når du har fundet én eller flere studiepladser i udlandet, som du er interesseret i, skal du i gang med at opstille et studieprogram for hvert sted. Hertil skal du bruge den såkaldte learning agreement, som du kan downloade på vores hjemmeside. Det gælder herefter om at finde information om de fag, du ønsker at læse i udlandet (niveau, indhold, ECTS/credits) og dernæst opstille dem som et studieprogram, der kan erstatte en række fag, du skulle have taget på SDU. Vær dog opmærksom på, at du muligvis ikke kan finde fag for det kommende semester endnu men her må du forsøge at bruge oplysninger fra tidligere semestres fagudbud. Det kan i den forbindelse være en god idé at tage en faglig vejleder med på råd. Husk at du skal have en learning agreement for hver studieplads, du søger. Vi anbefaler, at du søger flere pladser, da du dermed har større chance for at komme af sted. Ansøg om studiepladsen Når du har modtaget din(e) forhåndsgodkendelse(r) skal du udfylde vores ansøgningsskema til studieophold i udlandet, som du finder på vores hjemmeside. Ansøgningsskemaet er en formular, som skal udfyldes på computer, udskrives og underskrives. Du kan enten sende eller aflevere det til Det Internationale Kontor i Esbjerg eller Odense. Sammen med ansøgningsskemaet vedlægger du følgende: learning agreement for hver studieplads, du ansøger om seneste eksamensudskrift incl. alle forsøg (dvs. ikke dine officielle eksamenspapirer) kopi af BA bevis, hvis du er kandidatstuderende Såfremt du laver et selvarrangeret ophold, skal du også vedlægge en beskrivelse af, hvor langt du er kommet i ansøgningsprocessen samt kopi af relevant korrespondance med institutionen. Afvent svar fra os Når vores ansøgningsfrist udløber, går vi i gang med at behandle alle de indkomne ansøgninger. Er der flere ansøgere til samme udvekslingsplads, prioriterer vi i forhold til kriterier vedtaget af de enkelte fakulteter. I første omgang er det karaktersnittet, der afgør hvem, der kan få pladsen. Vær også opmærksom på, at værtsinstitutionen kan kræve et bestemt karaktersnit, for at du kan få pladsen. Andre faktorer kan også spille ind, såsom beståede eksaminer og særskilte krav fra studienævn. I nogle tilfælde fremgår det, at pladserne skal fordeles på en bestemt måde mellem de enkelte fakulteter. Som regel er det muligt at udvise fleksibilitet i fordelingen af pladser, således at flest mulige ansøgere opnår en udvekslingsplads. Vi skriver herefter ud til alle ansøgere og informerer om fordelingen af pladser og beder dig bekræfte, at du stadig er interesseret i at få pladsen. Desuden skriver vi ud til de ansøgere, der har søgt om stipendium til et selvarrangeret ophold. Ansøg om forhåndsgodkendelse hos dit studienævn Når du er blevet tildelt en studieplads i udlandet, skal du ansøge om at få dit studieprogram forhåndsgodkendt af dit studienævn. Procedurerne hos de enkelte studienævn kan variere, men generelt skal du sende din learning agreement med tilhørende kursusbeskrivelser, som så vurderes af studienævnet. Søg om optagelse på værtsuniversitetet Når du har fået din forhåndsgodkendelse er du klar til at søge om optagelse på værtsuniversitetet. Det internationale Kontor har nomineret dig til pladsen på det udenlandske universitet, hvorefter du som regel vil du få tilsendt information om optagelsesproceduren via direkte fra værtsuniversitetet. Det er vigtigt, at du er opmærksom på den gældende ansøgningsfrist. Såfremt du ikke hører noget indenfor et par uger, skal du tage kontakt til Det internationale Kontor. Du bør desuden selv holde dig orienteret om ansøgningsproceduren på værtsuniversitetets hjemmeside. Den endelige bekræftelse på pladsen skal altid komme fra værtsinstitutionen, efter du har søgt om optagelse hertil det er altså ikke tilstrækkeligt alene af få tildelt pladsen fra os. Når du ansøger om en udvekslingsplads, ansøger du automatisk om et stipendium hertil gennem Eramus, Nordplus eller Internationaliseringspuljen. Vi vil senere i forløbet sende dig en bevillingsmail med angivelse af, hvor meget du er blevet tildelt. Yderligere information? Har du spørgsmål i forbindelse med ansøgningen eller vedrørende studiepladser, er du altid velkommen til at kontakte os.

6 Practical information On the following pages, you can read about your possibilities for going abroad, and how to apply for an exchange place. Please read these pages before you make your application. Studying abroad your possibilities There are many opportunities for studying abroad dependant upon your wishes, needs and economic situation. The immediate opportunity for going abroad is through exchange agreements. Exchanges imply that two universities opt to swap students for a short period and thus do not charge each other s students tuition fees. Of course, you also have the possibility to arrange your stay outside the framework of exchange programmes. However, in such case you will have to pay the tuition fees to the host institution yourself. Erasmus exchange Erasmus is an exchange programme financed by the European Union, which is based upon bilateral agreements between universities within the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Turkey. Switzerland participates on special terms. SDU has concluded a large number of agreements with different universities in Europe. On the following pages you can see which places are available to you. Please notice that your study period must be either one semester or a full academic year. Your stay cannot begin in the spring semester and continue in the autumn semester. To become an Erasmus student you must be a citizen in a participating country or have a permanent residence permit within one. If you become an Erasmus student you will receive a grant of around 800 euro each semester you spent abroad. Overseas exchange If you want to study outside Europe, you can apply for one of our overseas places. If you are nominated for overseas exchange, you will receive a travel grant from the university s Internationalization Fund. Please note that most overseas exchange places are awarded in the application round of 15 November. Therefore, you will only find a few remaining places in the round of 15 March. These are announced separately on our web page. Along certain overseas agreements, the possibility of Study Abroad is mentioned. This entails that SDU students are eligible for a discount if they choose to study at that university as a fee paying guest student. Study Abroad might be a possibility if you do not get the free exchange place but are willing to pay to attend a particular university. Nordic exchange The Nordic countries cooperate closely within education, and there are many possibilities for exchange within the so called Nordplus programme. Nordplus is an umbrella network for a number of small subject oriented networks. In the back of this booklet you can see the networks that SDU takes part in. Students who study within the Nordplus framework are provided with a travel grant. Individually arranged stays If you want to study in a particular country or university with which SDU does not cooperate, you can arrange a study abroad period yourself. In that case, you are not considered an exchange student, and you must take care of contact, application and enrolment to the particular university yourself. In addition, you should note that you most likely would have to pay tuition fees to that university. If you receive SU, you can apply for funds through the udlandsstipendieordning to cover your tuition fees. If you are not eligible for udlandsstipendium, you can apply for a grant from the Internationalization Fund. Some of our overseas partners offer a discount to SDU students on individually ar ranged stays. These are listet in the section study abroad. If you are planning an in dividually arranged stay at one of our partner universities not listed in the study abroad section, please remember to point out that you are from SDU. Maybe you will be entitled to a discount that we are not familiar with. Internships abroad your possibilities More and more students opt to do an internship abroad, either as a mandatory part of their studies or to replace an elective. An internship in another country is a good chance for you to get both work experience and international qualifications at the same time. If you get credits for your internship, you can apply for a grant through the International Office. 6

7 Erasmus placement Erasmus placement is an EU programme for university students who want to do an internship abroad as part of their studies. The internship must take place within the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland. Embassies and other official government institutions along with EU institutions are excluded from the programme. Prior to the training period an agreement about the contents of the internship must be signed by SDU, the host and the student. The EU grants the students a sum of around 250 euro a month for internships under this programme. Other internships If you choose to do an internship from outside the framework of Erasmus (e.g. at an embassy), you can apply for a travel grant from the university s Internationalization Fund (see later in this booklet). The internship must be pre approved by your study board. How to use this booklet The lists of exchange places abroad are divided into Erasmus places and overseas places. Both lists are primarily sorted by country and then university. Area of study Just below the partner institution, you can see the type of degrees for which the exchange place is suited. With certain places, the target group is all areas of study at a particular faculty, but often the place is intended for specific areas of study. This does not necessarily imply that students of other kinds of degrees cannot apply for the place. If so, you must choose subjects within the given area, however. Students from the mentioned area of study have first priority to the exchange place. Number of places, duration and level In the next column you can see the number and duration of the study places that are offered. In most cases, the duration is one semester, but sometimes it might say full academic year. Typically this means that both a single semester and a full academic year is possible. In the end, the duration of the courses at the partner university is decisive. Be aware that the semesters abroad do not necessarily follow the same dates as SDU. In some countries the spring semester begins already in January, and this might be a problem if you have to take exams at SDU. You cannot expect to be able to arrive after the semester begins, so it is important that you check when the semester begins before you apply for a study place in the spring. Please note that the places are marked graduate or undergraduate. If you are studying at bachelor s level at SDU, you can only apply for places that are marked undergraduate. If you are studying at master s level, you should look primarily for graduate places. In case you apply for overseas exchange at graduate level, you have to be aware that some universities in e.g. the United States, Canada and Australia require that you have already passed your BA when you apply. These universities are not able to admit you if you earn your BA just prior to beginning your stay abroad. For more information about this, please contact the International Office. Language of instruction and other comments The last column with comments may also hold important information about the respective university. In case we know precisely in which language the courses are taught, it will be noted in this column. If nothing is mentioned, you can assume that the language of instruction is the mother tongue of the country in question. However, most universities today offer courses in English, so we will certainly advise you to check the university s homepage for further information. Application procedure how to do it Often it can be a quite long and dilatory process to go abroad, but as soon as the adventure begins, most students forget about all the previous troubles. Even though the exchange places are offered by SDU, you are still the one to take initiative and make sure that the exchange materializes. Below you can see how to go about it step by step. Prepare carefully Use this booklet to find out what your possibilities are in relation to your degree, your language abilities and your wanderlust. Then search for more information about the universities that might be interesting for you. Use the homepages of the universities (find the links on our webpage), and drop by the International Office to borrow brochures or student reports from the relevant universities. Our experience tells us that the hardest part for the students is finding courses, so you need to be thorough when you do 7

8 your research. Please be aware that it might not be possible for you to find updated information on course offerings, however. Sometimes you may need to settle for information about courses from previous semesters alone. Fill out a learning agreement with your intended study programme When you have found one or more study opportunities abroad, you need to put together a study programme for each institution. Here you need to use the learning agreement form, which is found on our webpage. The basic concept is to find information about the subjects you want to study abroad and then put them together as a study programme that can replace a number of courses that you have to take at SDU. You will need to find course descriptions as well as information about the number of credits for each course. If you are in doubt, you should contact you academic student advisor (faglig vejleder). We recommend that you apply for more than one place since this will give you a greater chance to go abroad. Apply for the exchange place or for a grant Once you have constructed your study programme(s) abroad, you should fill out our digital application form on our webpage. The application form must be filled out on you computer, printed and then signed. You can either send it to us or hand it in at the International Office in Esbjerg or Odense. You need to enclose the following with your application: proposed learning agreement for each exchange place you apply for most recent SDU transcript of records including all examinations (i.e. both passed and failed) copy of BA diploma (if you are a graduate student) If you choose to arrange a stay abroad individually, you also need to submit a description of your study abroad stay in which you note how far you are in planning the stay. Please enclose copies of relevant correspondence with the institution (if any). You do not need to have been officially admitted yet you can forward a copy of your admission offer at a later stage, but please be aware of the host university's application deadline. Wait for nomination When the application deadline expires, we begin to consider all incoming applications. If there are more applicants for the same place, we prioritize according to criteria agreed upon with each faculty. Primarily, the average grade will decide whom we nominate. Please note that the host institution may require a certain grade average for you to get the place, so just because you might get the exchange place it doesn't automatically follow that you will be admitted to the host institution. Other factors may also be decisive, such as the number of passed exams and ECTS. With some exchange agreements, it is stated that the places should be distributed in a particular way between the faculties. Usually it is possible to be flexible when distributing the places, so that most applicants receive an exchange place. Apply for pre approval from your study board When you have been awarded an exchange place, you will need to have your proposed learning agreement approved by your study board. Send the learning agreement pertaining to your exchange place to your study board together with course descriptions. Each study board may have different rules that you need to be aware of. Apply for admission to the host university Once your study programme has been approved by your study board, you are ready to apply for admission at the host university. The International Office will nominate you, and typically you receive an from the host university. Typically you will receive an from the host university to inform you about their application procedures. In case you don't hear anything, don't assume that everything is fine. Some universities expect you to follow their online application guidelines, so it is important that you are active in this process. When in doubt contact the International Office here at SDU. Final acceptance should always come from the host institution. Later on you will receive information about the grant from e.g. Erasmus, Nordplus or Internationalization Fund when applying for exchange, you automatically apply for a grant, too. More information? If you have any questions in connection with your application or the exchange places, you are always welcome to contact us. You can find more information about going abroad on our webpage: 8

11 Oversøiske udvekslingspladser værd at vide De oversøiske udvekslingspladser gælder ofte flere forskellige studieretninger, og derfor vil der ofte være mange studerende, der søger pladserne. Det er derfor en god idé at søge mere end én plads, være fleksibel og ikke kun ansøge en af de mest efterspurgte steder som fx Californien, Hawaii og Florida. Karaktergennemsnit Når de egnede ansøgere er udvalgte, dvs. studerende som har et forhåndsgodkendt studieprogram indenfor udvekslingsaftalens målgruppe, fordeles pladserne efter karaktergennemsnit. Mange af de oversøiske samarbejdsuniversiteter stiller høje krav til udvekslingsstuderende. Der vil derfor ofte være et minimumsgennemsnit for at komme i betragtning til pladsen. Ligeledes kræver mange værtsuniversiteter, at de studerende har gennemført min. 2 års studier forud for opholdet. Svar på din ansøgning Inden jul vil du modtage svar på din ansøgning. Optagelseskrav Vær opmærksom på, at selvom du tildeles en udvekslingsplads gennem Det internationale Kontor, skal du stadig søge om optagelse på værtsuniversitetet efterfølgende. Dette kan ofte involvere en hel del arbejde med at fremskaffe de nødvendige papirer, forsikringer, sprogtest, visum mm, og der vil være en række ansøgningskrav, der skal opfyldes. Det er en god idé at kigge disse igennem før, du søger om udvekslingspladsen. Da værtsuniversiteterne løbende ændrer deres krav, er det ikke muligt at medtage disse i listerne over udvekslingspladser. Det er på universiteternes hjemmesider, du skal finde dem. I det omfang vi kender til sprogkrav eller særlige bestemmelser, er de medtaget i dette hæfte. Men blot fordi, der ikke nævnes noget om fx sprogtest, er det ikke ensbetydende med, at det ikke kan være påkrævet. Økonomi Får du en udvekslingsplads, skal du ikke betale for undervisningen på værtsuniversitetet. Du skal dog stadig afholde udgifter til bolig, forsikring, rejse, mad, bøger, fornøjelser etc. Ofte skal du, når du ansøger om optagelse på værtsuniversitetet, dokumentere, at du har tilstrækkelige midler til at gennemføre opholdet. Dokumentationen består fx af en bekræftelse på SU (kan fås på engelsk ved henvendelse til SU Kontoret), brev fra banken, garanti fra forældre, legattilsagn etc. Såfremt du ikke modtager SU, skal du allerede inden, du ansøger om udvekslingspladsen dokumentere, at du har min kr. til rådighed per måned under opholdet. Alle studerende, der bliver tildelt en oversøisk udvekslingsplads, modtager automatisk et stipendium fra SDUs Internationaliseringspulje. Dette stipendium vil typisk kunne dække en flybillet t/r, men du skal påregne selv at kunne lægge pengene ud. Hvis jeg nu ikke får en plads......skal du ikke lade dig slå ud! Der er stadig mange muligheder for at komme af sted og få en unik oplevelse. Du kan enten: søge en restplads søge en europæisk plads i forårsrunden rejse som study abroad mod betaling lave et selvarrangeret ophold 11

12 Overseas exchange places good to know Overseas exchange places are often offered to several different areas of study, which means that there will often be many applicants. It is therefore recommended that you apply for more than just one place and that you do not only apply for the most attractive places places, e.g. California, Hawaii and Florida. Grade average When the eligible applicants are chosen, that is, students with a relevant study programme approved by their study board, the places are allocated according to grade average. Many of our overseas partners have strict minimum requirements for exchange students. Often there will be a minimum grade average simply to be considered for the place. In addition, many universities require that students have completed min. two years of university studies before the exchange period. Our decision Before Christmas you will receive an answer to your application. Admission requirements After you have been awarded an exchange places, you will need to apply for admission at the host university. You will need to spend time obtaining the necessary documents, insurance, language test, visa etc. It is a good idea to go through the host university s admission requirements before you apply for the exchange place. Since the universities often change their admission requirements, it is not possible to include them in this booklet. You will need to check the their own websites. If we have information about language tests or other specific requirements, we have included it in the right column. However, you cannot assume that no information about language tests means that you are exempt from taking it. If you get an exchange place you will not have to pay for tuition. However, you will still need to pay living expenses, insurance, travel, books etc. You will need to prove that you have sufficient funds in advance in order to be admitted to the host university. Documentation could be, e.g. Danish SU, a bank statement, support from parents, grants etc. If you do not receive SU, you will when you apply for the exchange place need to prove that you have at least DKK 5,000 at your disposal each month during the period abroad. All students winning an exchange place will automatically receive a travel grant from SDU s Internationalization Fund. This grant will typically be able to cover a round way fare to the host country, but you will most likely have to pay yourself initially. If I don t get a place don t give up! There are still many possibilities left for going abroad: apply for remaining places apply for a European exchange place in the upcoming round use a study abroad agreement do an individually arranged stay 12

23 Selvarrangerede ophold værd at vide Har du et ønske om at læse i et bestemt land eller på et bestemt universitet i udlandet, som SDU ikke samarbejder med? I så fald har du mulighed for at selv at arrangere et studieophold til et universitet i udlandet og muligvis modtage støtte fra Udlandsstipendieordningen gennem SU systemet. Økonomi Du vil ikke udvekslingsstuderende, og du skal derfor som oftest regne med at skulle betale undervisningsafgift til værtsuniversitetet. Prisen afhænger af flere forhold, herunder land, studie, valutakurser og ikke mindst værtsuniversitetets renommé. Et semesters undervisningsafgifter i USA, Australien eller Canada ligger typisk fra kr. og opefter. Visse universiteter i fx Skotland er væsentlig billigere end i andre engelsktalende lande. Såfremt du er SU berettiget, og opholdet er meritgivende vil du typisk kunne få udlandsstipendium gennem SU Kontoret. Hvis du ikke skal betale tuition, eller hvis du ikke modtager udlandsstipendium, kan du ansøge SDUs Internationaliseringspulje om et mindre rejsestipendium til dit ophold. På kan du desuden finde links til legater og fonde, og det er værd at holde øjnene åbne, for der er ofte gode muligheder for at hente lidt ekstra herigennem. Ved et selvarrangeret ophold sørger du selv for kontakt, ansøgning og optagelse på det pågældende sted. Såfremt du søger ind som betalingsstuderende på et universitet, som vi allerede samarbejder med, bør du kontakte os først. På de følgende sider kan du se de rabataftaler, SDU har indgået med udenlandske universiteter. Du vil kun kunne opnå denne rabat ved at søge igennem Det internationale Kontor. Flere virksomheder i Danmark formidler ophold til udenlandske universiteter. Det er typisk gratis at modtage vejledning herfra, idet virksomhederne får provision af de undervisningsafgifter, du skal betale til værtsuniversitetet: EDU Danmark: danmark.dk Kilroy: Ansøgningsfrist Ved selvarrangerede ophold, er den vigtigste frist det udenlandske universitets egen ansøgningsfrist. Søger du study abroad hos en af vores partnere, bør du imidlertid overholde samme ansøgningsfrister som for udvekslingspladserne. Det er en god idé at være ude i god tid, da der er mange forhold, der skal falde på plads, især økonomi, sprogtest, optagelse, forsikring mm. OBS på vores hjemmeside: kan du downloade et skema med en oversigt over de forskellige forhold, du skal have styr på ved selvarrangerede ophold. 23
