Whenever I had questions about details of the Erasmus grant, my question was forwarded and replied to quickly by the Erasmus-branch of the International Office. academic preparation I had to make sure I stayed on course with my studies at Utrecht, but because I already had the required amount of ECTS, there was not much academic preparation I had to do. language preparation Lucky for me the only languages I was taking courses in were English and Dutch, in which I'm both fluent. finances With help from the Erasmus grant and some help from my parents, combined with my own savings, I was able to finance my exchange.

DU students must successfully complete the DU Study Abroad nomination process by indicated deadlines in order to receive approval to participate on an AUP. AUPs are approved based on the accredited institution issuing the transcript for student coursework abroad. In the case of some foreign institutions listed below, it may be possible for a student to enroll in the institution via a U.S. program provider (IES, CIEE, CEA, g-MEO, IGE, USAC, etc.); in doing so, it is the student's responsibility to verify that the program provider selected offers a transcript from the institution indicated below, otherwise DU may deny transfer of credit for the program.

It is important that you keep track of it. counselling & support at Utrecht University The counselling and support at UU was great. The international office is very helpful and they respond to any enquiries quickly via mail academic preparation None language preparation None finances I saved up some extra money before departure. I got very lucky with housing, but a lot of people I met paid at least 150 pounds a week. Tip: join several student housing Glasgow facebook-pages and post a message, I found my room there and it was great, within a 5 min. walk of UoG and relatively cheap. And a bonus: I had a local very friendly roommate.

  • Preparation Study Abroad Period
    Exchange Experiences International Office Finland – University of Helsinki 2015-2016 Report 1 faculty/college Faculty of Humanities level bachelor’s master’s PhD name study programme Literary Studies/ Gender Studies PREPARATION exchange application process The exchange application process went pretty smoothly. The University of Helsinki was not my first choice for a semester abroad, but once I knew I was going to Finland, the application process went quite well. I went to an information evening before applying, and after that everything (both at Utrecht University and at the University of Helsinki) was easy to sort out. counselling & support at Utrecht University The support at Utrecht University was good: whenever I had a question or was unsure about something, International Office was easy to reach and always happy to help. academic preparation Because the contract between Utrecht University and the University was based on Gender Studies rather than on Literary Studies (my major at my home university), I was adviced by International Office Utrecht to try to take some extra courses in gender studies in order to be as prepared as possible for my stay in Finland, and to make sure my lack of 'official' credits in the field were not a problem. In the end, I applied to the University of Helsinki after having succesfully completed 21,5 ECTS in the discipline that would be my major during my stay there. I made sure to include this in my motivation letter, and also to allude to other extracurricular activities that are related to issues gender studies engages with. I also sent an extra e-mail to the International Office at the University of Helsinki to make sure my application would be approved.
