Exchange studies contact persons
There are LAB International Mobility Services and faculties' departmental coordinators who are happy to help you with issues related to going abroad during your studies. International Mobility Services are there to guide you on administrative topics of the exchange (such as applying, financial support, etc.).
Departmental coordinators along with tutor teachers are responsible for topics related to the timing and content of your study plan. They can also help you choosing the right destination (also the Exchange Possibilities -portal is helpful with this).
Note also that if you complete a placement through our partner institution, it is regarded as study exchange and also the process is the same.
