Swiss-European Mobility Programme

Outgoing

The Swiss-European Mobility Programme offers students the opportunity to be part of a two to twelve months study exchange at a European partner institution, starting in the second academic year.
The number of exchange months is fully credited towards the course of studies. The exchange may be supported through a mobility grant.
The study exchange within Switzerland is in place among the Jazz Instituts of Basel, Berne, Lausanne, Lucerne and Zurich.
