(ERASMUS and other student mobility exchanges)

Unlike the Language Stay Abroad, Study Abroad allows qualified students the opportunity to follow regular university courses at a foreign university, for which they receive an equivalent number of credits at their home institution. For students wishing to study abroad, the University of Neuchâtel currently maintains student exchange agreements with Sheffield Hallam University , the University of Sheffield , the University of Kent at Canterbury, Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa (USA), University of Alaska, Fairbanks (USA), and the University of Technology Sydney (Australia). To obtain more information on these exchange programs or to apply, please contact the Bureau de mobilité. Watch out for application deadlines, most of which are in early spring.

Students who plan to study English literature, linguistics or medieval studies at a foreign university need to first contact the Bureau de mobilité, then get their courses pre-approved by the responsable de pilier in order to receive credit at their home institution. Students will only be given the equivalent number of credits if they do all the work required for the course, including all essays and in-class tests, and they must pass the course. Please note that British, American and Australian universities do not award credits according to the Bologna ECTS system, meaning that we cannot award students the exact equivalent in ECTS credit hours.
