Of course you should go on exchange! With more than 400 partner universities worldwide, Åbo Akademi University offers great opportunities for an international study experience. Exchange studies improve your language skills, and above all, give you memories for life. By getting to know people from other cultures, you learn about yourself and gain the confidence to face new situations. These skills will benefit you throughout your life, not only in the global job market.
Below is a short and simple overview of instructions, so you get an overall perspective of how the process works. Read more about where you can apply and how you can prepare for the application and your stay abroad.
Application deadline
You can apply for exchange studies once per year. The deadline for applications for the academic year 2024 – 2025 is on 2 February 2024 at 15:00.
Do you want to study internationally without going on exchange or sample international studies at home before going abroad?
Now you can apply to participate in a transnational online course from one of our CHARM-EU partner universities! You have the possibility to take part in an international learning experience by studying with students and learning and engaging with professors and lecturers from other CHARM-EU universities, while enhancing your international academic portfolio. The deadline for applications for courses in the autumn semester has been extented to 1 September 2024, except for courses that are already full. All students at ÅAU are welcome to apply.
