How to Apply
You must be an undergraduate student at your home university and have completed at least one year of study. You should also have satisfactorily completed the year of study prior to the study abroad period.
For non-native speakers, we normally require a test of English language proficiency, such as TOEFL 550 (213 CBT), IELTS 6.0, TOEIC 750, or equivalent. If English is not your first language, but you can demonstrate study of English to the required standard, we may, with the recommendation of your home university, accept other evidence of proficiency.
