  4. Spring 2020 (4th semester for class of 2021) Advantages Disadvantages Limited time to plan exchange Prospective major? Planning 3 semesters ahead Getting used to college life in general • It will be easier to plan your senior year • Many level 3 courses are only offered once a year • Planning the Research Thesis (15 EC)

  5. Fall 2020 (5th semester for class of 2021) Advantages Disadvantages You will miss out on UCU level 3 courses that are only offered in fall If no level 3 before your exchange you might have to take 3 X 3 plus Research Thesis (spring + plus summer) in final semester. • More time to plan exchange • but good to start planning anyway!

  6. Curriculum planning • Current first semester students: Review what you learned in the curriculum planning workshop • Think of the potential fields you would like to include in your UCU curriculum and look for exchange destinations that match with your interest profile • If not sure yet: design two or three hypothetical curricula • Make an appointment with your tutor to discuss however come prepared!

  7. Curriculum planning and exchange: How to start? • One of the methods is as follows: • List your major fields of interest or potential interests • Go through the level 3 courses on offer in those fields • Go back from there to the level 2 and level 1 prerequisites • Make more curriculum versions if you have multiple interests • Note that course offering is subject to change so be flexible in anticipating on alternatives

  8. Curriculum planning and exchange: How to start? • Try to construct your curriculum –if possible- such that you will meet your graduation requirements even without courses on in exchange counting for that • Plan methodology courses as much as possible before going on exchange • Mathematic course for SCI majors to be finished in semester 3 if abroad in semester 4 • Language and culture requirement to be finished in semester 3 if abroad in semester 4

  9. Requirements • A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher • No shortage of credit • Transfer credits totaling no more than 30 ECTS • Proficiency at the intermediate (2) level in the language of instruction at the host institution • No social or academic probation during exchange semester • These criteria must be met at the time of application as well as at the time of departure for a study abroad destination • The default course load on exchange is 30 EC. • If an excess of at least 7.5 EC is completed beforegoing abroad, a program of at least 22.5 EC is possible if good description of other organized formative activities while on exchange is added to the learning agreement

  10. Orientation: Where? • Start from the perspective of your academic ambitions and course planning • Which partner universities offer really interesting and enriching courses from your perspective? • “Far away” does not always match with “best course options” (for you) • Go to the semester abroad information market later this afternoon
