Eindhoven University of Technology offers students from partner institutions the opportunity to study at one of the TU/e departments as an exchange student.

The status of exchange student is a special category granted to students who take part in the European educational programs of Erasmus, TEMPUS, EC/US and others. Or these are students who come to TU/e within the scheme of a department exchange agreement between their institution and TU/e.

An exchange student remains enrolled at his/her home institution and spends one or more semesters pursuing his/her studies at TU/e, free of charge. Depending on the department, students can choose to follow courses, do a thesis or a research project or an internship. 

Exchange students can transfer the credits they obtain at TU/e to their own degree through the European Credit Transfer system on the basis of a prior agreement (to be signed by the student, TU/e and the home institution) on the content of the TU/e study program.
