Outgoing Students
Dear undergraduate and graduate students,
Office of International Relations would like to inform you that call for applications has commenced for 2018 Fall Semester Bilateral Student Mobility Programme. The programme provides great opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students of all disciplines to get international experience, academic knowledge and cultural exposure during one semester at one of our partner universities in abroad.
To ease the application procedure and to eliminate time consumption from this semester onward Office of International Relations will accept the documents through online application form. Kindly visit this link to fill up application form and to submit documents, you can edit details after submission also: https://goo.gl/HQ9N2H
Mobility programmes are classified into two categories:
- First one is self-financed which we call Bilateral Student Mobility Programme where students do not pay tuition fee at host university hence students have to cover their own expenses related to travel, visa, accommodation, etc. And “call for application” in this email is just for this category
- Second one is grant based mobility programmes which are Erasmus+ KA1, UGRAD, DAAD, etc. These programmes follow non-nomination based policy, which means our office will disseminate information about each call for applications and applicants have to submit their documents directly to host university for selection.
Our office is planning to organize briefing seminar on Tuesday, 30th January at 15:00 to give detailed information about all mobility programmes.
If you want to apply for bilateral mobility programme kindly read guidelines of eligibility criteria and application procedure for upcoming semester and our doors are always open for assistance.
Note: Mobility stands for exchange
