My university does not have an exchange agreement with IBEI! Now what?
Students from non-partner universities who wish to study at IBEI for a semester can come as free-mover/visiting students. Kindly note that tuition fees apply in this case. If you are interested in coming to IBEI as a visiting student, you must contact admissions@ibei.org |

Courses available for exchange students
Exchange students may enroll between 10 and 20 ECTS. You can see the list of courses and their corresponding ECTS credits here. You must note, however, that you are only allowed to choose elective courses from this list. You will be given a definitive list of available courses before you come to IBEI.
You will have a chance to choose your courses during the Shopping Week (13-18 September, 2024), in which professors will hold thirty-minute presentations on the content and evaluation of their courses. Enrolment for these courses will take place online. The Academic Office will contact incoming exchange students with more information before the beginning of the semester.
Frequently Asked Questions
