Additional
rounds

If all placements have not been filled, selection process takes place usually in summer or in September.

Instructions
for the selection process

If you want to study in German or English you must take written tests in these languages. If you take the test during the Erasmus+ study abroad selection process (or for non-European bilateral agreements), we will automatically recognize the result for Switzerland as well.
