Study at Zuyd
Exchange

Exchange programmes

Zuyd offers several interesting opportunities for international study exchange programmes, including the Erasmus+programme, the Magellan Exchange and bilateral exchange agreements with international partners.

Who can take part?

Exchange programmes are based on international agreements. In principle, only students of our partner universities can take part in these exchange programmes. The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) guarantees academic recognition of your studies abroad by providing a smooth way of measuring and comparing your learning achievements, and transferring these to your home institution.

Programmes

  • Erasmus+

    Erasmus+ is the European subsidy programme for education, youth and sport.

    For whom?
    Students selected by Zuyd's exchange partners will generally qualify for this exchange programme. The annual number of students to be exchanged is agreed on in a bilateral agreement. Once selected and admitted by Zuyd, you can apply for Erasmus funding through the Erasmus coordinator at your home institution. For a list of our exchange partners within the Erasmus network, check out our list of partners. 

    Duration
    If you want to receive  Erasmus funding, you will have to stay abroad for at least three months. If an internship is part of your study abroad experience, you should first study for three months and after this you can do your internship. The maximum stay abroad is twelve months. 

    Application
    After having been selected for an exchange programme by your home institution, you have to apply at Zuyd via our online application system: Osiris.
