- The signed statement of responsibility (a signed hard copy must be submitted separately)

Selection process
Applications will be reviewed by the Faculty Committee on Study Abroad. All decisions will be made by the Committee collectively. Decisions will be communicated to the applicants via email by Tuesday, March 6, 2018.
The Committee will draw up a wait list wherever possible. Please note that you may be required to undergo language skills testing before you can participate in a program that requires a high degree of proficiency in a foreign language.
If your first preference is EUI and you are not selected to that program, you will be considered for your second choice along with others who have applied for that program. In other words, not being selected to the EUI program will not adversely affect your chances of being considered for another exchange program.
The host institutions have their own admission process and you will have to follow the instructions given to you once you have been selected to an exchange program. Selection by the Faculty Committee here does not imply automatic admission to the host institution.
