The following steps outline the University of Edinburgh's process for applying for an exchange place at one of our international partner institutions. This is the first stage in the process. Successful applicants must complete a subsequent application to the host institution to confirm their place.
Please note that the application process is very competitive and no student is guaranteed an exchange place.
University regulations require that, to be permitted to go on exchange, you must have achieved 240 credits before you depart and you must pass all your courses in second year at first attempt.
