Semester abroad & internship

Internship semester or semester abroad - 5th Semester

Study abroad at any of our partner universities in Europe, North America, Australia or Asia. You will choose your courses beforehand, which will normally be accepted upon your return. You are required to earn 30 credit points or their equivalent while studying abroad. 

If none of our partner universities appeals to you, other alternatives are possible. Bear in mind that these other universities must meet certain accreditation criteria to ensure an equivalent academic standard. Plus, the application process entails more work and effort on your part. For your convenience, we always recommend you select one of our partner universities.

UE students can choose between a practical semester and a semester abroad. It is also possible to do an internship abroad instead of studying abroad.
