Exchange students

As of the academic year 2022/2023 you may again go abroad for courses, internships and (thesis) research projects. However, there are still conditions. Travel to countries with the color code red is not allowed. Travel to countries with the color code green, yellow and in some cases orange is allowed. All conditions and an FAQ can be found in the education guide.

Eindhoven University of Technology offers students from selected 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 participate in: 

• European Educational programs including Erasmus 
• Exchange programs agreed by a TU/e Department with selected institution 
• Specific exchange programs agreed between the student's home country and the Netherlands. 

An exchange student remains enrolled at their home institution and spends between one semester and one academic year pursuing their studies at TU/e. The exchange period at TU/e may be free of charge, depending on agreements made in the specific exchange program. Students may choose to follow courses, write their thesis or conduct a research project or internship. This depends on agreements made with the TU/e department.  

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.
