Students who have not participated in previous exchange programs are highly encouraged to apply and will be given priority. Additional preference will be given to students from less advantaged socio-economic backgrounds and those with special needs, in line with Erasmus+ inclusion principles.

Selected students are expected to fully commit to the exchange program. Withdrawal after selection will only be permitted in exceptional and justified circumstances, as cancellations limit opportunities for other candidates.

Applications must be sent by Thursday, 30th October (by 4:00 PM) to:
