After application

• Course selection
  How to select the courses?

  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.

  Students in the undergraduate program do the selection of courses together with the coordinator of the respective year and fill the so-called

  • Learning Agreement
  • which must be signed by the student, the coordinator of the year and the International Office.

• Nomination

  The International Office of ZSEM will contact the partner university and will nominate the registered candidates. After it, students will fill all application forms online and/or paper. These forms vary from university to university.

  It is the responsibility of the student to complete them on time. Universities don’t accept partial documentation, but only complete set.

• Letter of acceptance

  When the host university has confirmed that the student fulfills all requirements, they will send a letter of acceptance and a welcome package with more information.

  This is the moment to go to the corresponding embassy to start the visa process (if visa is required). This can take from one day to three months, depending of the country.
