Partner institutions to Aarhus University can use an existing exchange agreement between Aarhus University and your institution to nominate students for exchange (tuition-fee-waived) at AU Summer University.
The nominated students will be treated as regular semester exchange students and therefore counting in the general exchange balance between Aarhus University and your institution.
Aarhus University counts 3:1 towards the regular semester. This also means that when choosing to nominate students to Summer University this will influence the number you can send for regular semester exchange at Aarhus University during the following academic year.
If you do not wish to spend exchange balance on AU Summer University, your students cannot apply as exchange students (tuition-fee waived), but instead they must apply as free-movers (fee-paying students).
