• Intended for students at the bachelor level (completed at least one year of a bachelor’s program)
   
• The exchange program is not intended simply for language immersion. Rather, the idea is to give candidates an opportunity to become familiar with teaching and research at the respective host university. Solid proficiency in English is therefore essential and must be demonstrated by taking the TOEFL exam.
   
• The stay abroad is funded for one or a maximum of two semesters.
   
• Students do not pay any tuition fees at the host university and remain enrolled at the University of Basel.
   
• Students receive a one-time stipend of approximately CHF 500.
   
• Cancellations require a great deal of work on the part of all institutions involved. If such an exceptional case does occur and a cancellation is required, the Student Exchange Office must be informed of this in writing.

Prospective candidates should contact and submit their online application to the Student Exchange Office.

• Prospective candidates should contact the specialized advisors at the University of Basel to discuss the discipline-specific aspects of the exchange stay, especially issues concerning recognition.
