How to apply - Exchange students

Nomination by e-mail

Your home institution needs to announce your nomination to AP International office, informing us that you are officially selected as an incoming student, via this link.

English language skills

By nominating a student, the sending institution acknowledges their responsibility to ensure the student has the minimum recommended language level at the start of the exchange.

Level B2 (minimum) is highly recommended for all English exchange programmes. We recommend incoming students to master the English language sufficiently before the exchange to participate actively during courses. If a student's proficiency in English does not allow active participation, there is a high risk of failing assignments and examinations. This is entirely the responsibility of the sending institution.

Students can take English (or other) language lessons at their own expense in the language center of the University of Antwerp (Linguapolis). Applications and fees are to be arranged directly with Linguapolis.

Selection

Make sure to send in all documents before the deadline or your application will not be taken into consideration.  

Our programmes can only accept a limited number of students. After the application deadline, a selection will take place based on motivation/cv, study background, and, if necessary, date of application.
After the deadline, a selection will take place by the international coordinator at AP.

After acceptance

Course selection

For certain programmes you will need to make a course selection. If so, we will send you a course list after acceptance so you can indicate which courses you wish to follow. 

For other programmes you need to take up the full programme of 30 ECTS, so there is no course selection to be made.

The course package and course descriptions can be found on the page of each individual exchange programme (under tab programme).  

Learning agreement 

Do not forget to send us your Erasmus+ learning agreement before arrival. We can accept and sign digital LA’s via our system Mobility Online. Our departmental international coordinator will check and sign it for you. 

Please name the file: LA_lastname_firstname
 

Practical information

If you have been selected, you will receive more information on practical topics such as accommodation, registration, welcome week, etc.

In case you need an invitation letter for visa purposes, please send an e-mail to incomingstudents@ap.be.

In case of any changes to your learning agreement after arrival, the international office of the student's home institution will be notified within a month after arrival at AP.

Within 5 weeks after the end of your exchange period, a Transcript of Records will be sent to the international office of the student's home institution.
