Go Global! The autumn application round for exchange studies in Asia in 2026-27 is 27 October - 16 November 2025
Why study in Asia?
Student exchange in Asia gives a great chance to explore different cultures and ways of life that are very different from Europe. Asia is an exciting mix of old traditions and modern technology, which makes it an interesting place for exchange students. During the exchange, you can really get to know local cultures, learn new languages if you want, and enjoy the rich and varied food culture of the region. You’ll also get real-life experience of fast-growing economies that are becoming more important in the global world.
Exchange helps you build useful international connections that can support your career later on. The experience shows employers that you can adapt to new situations and work in multicultural environments, which gives you a clear advantage in the job market.
