  • About Cross-Institutional Studies

    Cross-institutional study is an opportunity for a higher education student to do studies from another institution. Cross-institutional studies include these features:

    • Students must be higher education institution degree students with an annual registration status as 'present'.
    • Students will have a temporary study right in their target institution and the study right will be valid for the duration of the cross-institutional studies.
    • Students can choose courses that have been listed in a network agreement about cross-institutional studies. These courses can be found in a course catalogue on this page.
    • The rules of the institution that organizes the teaching must be followed.
    • The assessments are made and registered in the target institution and the credits can be transferred to home institution by accreditation of learning.
