The selection is serial. Spots are first given to group 1 and thereafter to group 2.

Group 2: Not completed 30 credits from the Master's Programme.

Please note that we reserve the right to determine which candidates are suitable for exchange studies depending on the candidate's total study situation, for example if there are many unfinished courses. Students, who have already agreed to an exchange place through the International Mobility Office will be prioritised lower in the selection round.

In case of competitive selection further selection criteria are:
