Choosing your exchange destination
All LAB students can apply for studies abroad. Choose a suitable destination and partner institution so that the studies done there will support your studies at LAB and can be transferred to your degree here. You can also look for options where you can deepen your skills in some specific field.
Also, think about what linguistic area you are most interested in, and in which language you could and would prefer studying. Remember that language courses are a vital part of the exchange period. Supportive language courses should be considered as early as during the first year of studies.
LAB has an exchange agreement with almost 300 institutions all over the world. However, there are not available studies for all the LAB study fields at all the institutions. Also, LAB may not have an agreement to all the study fields the institution is offering. On the map below you can see the destinations for reference. Please visit the Exchange Possibilities Portal for accurate information. Read more about the portal below the map.
Exchange Possibilities portal
The possible partner universities for studies abroad are available from the Exchange possibilities portal. You can check the exchange possibilities based on your study field or geographically. Note to check that the partner institution offers studies on your study field. Instructions on how to use the portal correctly are given in the application info sessions. They are also descripted on the top of the page in the portal itself. Read them carefully.
Further information about partner institutions is available on their own websites. However, please do not contact the partner institutions at this stage yet. Who you can contact if you need further guidance regarding the destination, is the Departmental Coordinator of your study field or International Mobility Services who can help you with general issues about the process.
Reports
A good and recommendable source of information is the exchange reports of students who have taken part in exchange period in our partner institutions. These ones you can find in:
LAB Mobility-Online Report Portal - LAB reports starting from academic year 2020-2021
(You will find the same reports = Questionnaires, when you are scanning through your study field's options in the Exchange Possibilities -portal).
Do not hesitate to contact the students directly also if you want to get more information on their experience (some have given their contact information in the reports)!
Also, there may currently be exchange students at LAB from a partner uni you are interested in going on exchange to, don’t be afraid to go and ask them to get the best insider tips from a local.
