Study Abroad Opportunities

As a current Bachelor's or Master's student at Lund University, you may have the opportunity to study abroad at another university. In general there are two different ways to study abroad:

As an exchange student:

Lund University has exchange agreements with over 680 partner universities in 50 countries all around the world. This gives you unique opportunities to study abroad. Every year we send approximately 1000 students on exchange studies.

If you are a Bachelor's or Master's student interested in exchange studies, you must first ask your programme coordinator if the programme allows exchange studies and which semester is preferable to go.

You then apply for an exchange at your faculty of study. Information about eligibility, application instructions and deadlines may vary between faculties. Please check at your faculty's website.

On your own:

You can apply to universities abroad on your own.  For this process it is up to you to arrange everything and if there are fees, you need to pay those yourself. You also need to arrange your own valid insurance.

International networks and programmes

Lund University is a member of several international networks and programmes. Some of these offer study abroad opportunities, often including scholarships. Read more under the Global cooperation section.

Lund University is participating in several Erasmus Mundus Action 2 projects and a few of these allow outgoing mobility from Lund University to the project region or country. All projects marked with the star symbol (*) on the Erasmus Mundus Action 2 webpage allow outgoing mobility and as a current EU student at Lund University you may be able to apply to these projects to study abroad. Read more on each project's website (links provided on the Erasmus Mundus Action 2 webpage).
