Exchange Tutors
An Exchange Tutor is an academic point of contact responsible for facilitating and supporting student mobilities within an exchange program. This role involves liaising with students to help them identify suitable institutions for their international experiences, guiding them through the process of selecting modules or courses abroad, and providing academic support throughout their exchange. Exchange tutors play a crucial role in assisting students in navigating the academic aspects of studying abroad.
听Each department/school/institute has a dedicated point of contact. Please make sure you contact them as soon as possible.

Where can I study?
The 麻豆头条app currently holds a variety of exchange agreements with other partner institutions in Europe and Internationally.
When you apply to study abroad you can choose up to 3 exchange partners that you are interested in.
You will also be able to consider modules (normally called 鈥榗ourses鈥� abroad) from any of their undergraduate degrees rather than just the degree that matches your degree.
The partner university and your exchange tutor will need to approve the modules (courses) you select and this will happen during your application.
Our partners are split between subject-specific and institution-wide options.
Subject-specific partners
These partners offer exchange opportunities for specific subjects.
Insitution-wide partners
Our institution-wide partners allow you to study any undergraduate modules the partner university offers as long as the partner university and exchange tutor are happy with your choices.
You will have to visit the individual institution-wide partner website you are interested in to see if they offer study options relevant for your course and then liaise with your exchange tutor to make sure they are happy to let you proceed.
Important
Please note, not all partner institutions teach in English, so you may need to provide evidence of their language level.
For support and advice please speak to your听exchange tutor听who can provide guidance on our exchange partners and how to complete your application form.
