Students enrolled at the FHNW may (or if they are IM students, must) apply for one or two semesters abroad at one of the partner universities. These applications must be made via the International Coordinator of their campus.

Basel: geoffrey.myers@fhnw.ch

Brugg: willi.daepp@fhnw.ch

Additionally, for all campuses, celia.goicoechea@fhnw.ch

Application Process  (Please note new dates for Info/Placement sessions below)

During the first semester an Information Session regarding exchange semesters is held.  Students are notified per email of the date and place and are strongly advised to attend (see below for dates).

This is followed each year by Student Allocation Placement for all Business students across the campuses who wish to go abroad: here places available are allocated. Students are advised at the Information Session and per email when the bazaars take place.

Application dossiers (Application Form, ECTS Transcript of Records, Learning Agreement and perhaps other documentation required by the host university) are then submitted in full by the deadline set.

It is vitally important that you fully inform yourself of all aspects of your semester abroad yourself. This includes the application process, the rules governing your semester abroad, finance, accommodation, visas, insurance, etc. Please also consult the FAQ below before addressing any questions to the International Office, coordinators etc.
