Follow these steps to apply for an academic exchange through ZSEM:
Prepare and send the following documents to the International Office:
The International Office is available to provide guidance and support throughout the application process. However, students are encouraged to conduct their own research first to make informed decisions.
Students search the web pages of the partner universities for the courses that they offer. If they are not available online, they ask the person in charge in the international office of the host university. It is important to ask about the language of instruction since not all courses are always offered in the English language.
Note that some courses are offered only during the fall, others only during the fall and other ones in both semesters.
All the courses with a passing grade, could be recognized at ZSEM after the student finishes the period of study abroad. Some of them are recognized as core courses and others as elective ones. Only those ones which are 70 % similar to the ones which are compulsory at ZSEM, can be recognized as core courses. The rest are recognized as electives or if the number of electives has been covered, the name of the course will be stated in the diploma supplement.
