Exchange Programmes

The Academy participates in several exchange and mobility programmes, including Erasmus+ and Nordplus. These programmes offer the opportunity for students to study at the Academy for one or two semesters while earning credits in the programme at their home institution.

As an exchange student, studying at the Academy is also possible through bilateral agreements with institutions not participating in these programmes.

Contact the international coordinator at your home institution first
