ERASMUS (European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students) is
the European Commission´s educational program for higher education. It was introduced with
the aim of increasing student mobility within the EU, including the European Economic Area
countries and the candidate country of Turkey. ERASMUS provides funding for students' and
teachers' mobility, language courses and ECTS.
Overseas exchange programs: Within the framework of our co-operation agreements with
institutions abroad, OHM students may study abroad as exchange students benefiting from a
tuition waiver at the partner university. These programs also permits students to transfer
academic credits back to their curriculum at the OHM
Final thesis at partner institutions: This option is restricted only to certain partner universities.
Please consult the respective exchange coordinator for further advice.
Faculty academic coordinator: for all subject-related matters, course selection, issues
pertaining to credit transfers, etc.
Exchange coordinators at the International Office: counseling services on study abroad
semester, application and selection process, nomination, liaising directly with host universities,
placement and other related supporting services etc.
Transfer of course credits
The IB examination board is responsible for the recognition of academic achievements awarded
during your study abroad semester. Prior to your study abroad semester, please approach your
respective faculty coordinator on course-matching and the number of credits transferrable. Please also
make sure that the courses you enroll in at the host university are suitable for your degree
requirements and have been/will be approved by the examination board. You will have to file an
3
application for recognition at the examination board.
It is advisable to observe all the study and exam regulations and deadlines prior to your study abroad
semester. Our IO is not responsible for any errors or omissions resulting from the disregard of
deadlines and regulations.
If you would like to study in the framework of the ERASMUS-Program, please refer to the Learning
Agreement as orientation for the course selection. This also ensures the transfer of credits. The
Learning Agreement should be signed by the faculty coordinator as well as by your ERASMUScoordinator of the International Office. Amendment of courses is only feasible during the first weeks
after consultation with your faculty coordinator.
If you would like to join our overseas exchange programs, please note that some host universities may
have restrictions upon the numbers of courses an exchange student may take (e.g. in Australia,
exchange students are not allowed to take more than 4 courses).

Useful information
Here are a few things that we want you to take note of while on exchange, particularly in overseas
countries:
Semester calendar
Generally speaking, the semester dates of the EU-universities are quite similar to ours. But it is not the
case with some overseas partner universities. In Malaysia for instance, Semester 1 is from July to
Dec., whereas Semester 2 is from Dec. to May. Please consult with the respective exchange
coordinator to find out the semester dates of the university where you want to go for exchange.
Language requirements
In order to provide evidence that your English language level is sufficient to follow your course of study
successfully, IELTS 6,0 or TOEFL 80 (Internet based) or equivalence are generally required by most
of the overseas partner universities. Your exchange coordinator will inform you about the alternatives
which can be accepted as well, e.g. Cambridge ESOL (CAE), DAAD language test. Please note that
TOEIC is usually not accepted for study abroad semester.
Academic achievements
4
Please be informed that with some overseas partner universities, a minimum GPA is required for
acceptance.
Formalities to be settled at Studienbüro
All the administrative formalities with regard to Rückmeldung, Beurlaubung, Studienbeiträge,
Prüfungsanmeldung etc. have to be settled at Studienbüro prior to your study abroad period.
You have the option to apply for one “Urlaubsemester” for your study abroad period. The tuition fees
which you have paid for the study abroad period can be reimbursed when you file your application at
Studienbüro and if you have completed the semester abroad successfully.
Health Insurance
While on exchange, you remain registered at the GSO. Hence, the statutory health insurance remains
in force. It is advisable to take out additional health insurance cover for exchange period. At a number
of overseas exchange universities, it is mandatory that you take out their particular insurance cover.
Visa Application
For all overseas exchange destinations, you have to apply for a study visa. Please check the
Consulate or Embassy Website to find out how to apply for a study visa and what documents you
need to submit along with your visa application. You cannot apply for a visa until you have been
formally accepted by your host university. Please be reminded that you need a valid passport for visa
application. The Identity Card – “Personalausweis” can only be used within the EU. Foreign students
require a valid stay permit for Germany that also covers the complete period of exchange abroad.
International Day
This event is organized by the International Office to promote our Study Abroad Programs. It usually
takes place in November on campus. At this occasion, students can acquire all relevant study abroad
information from representatives of partner universities, companies and organizations. Presentations
and reports will also be held by former students who have spent their exchange semester abroad.
Preparation
Prior to your departure, please ensure that you get all the necessary vaccinations which are required
in the host country. We would also advise you to acquire information about the host country so that
you are well prepared about its culture and religious customs, climate etc.
International Student Identity Card (ISIC)
For your study abroad period, it is advisable to have an ISIC. This gives you not only discounts on
travelling, but also discounts on cultural events and entertainments, museums, exhibitions and much

more. You can apply for an ISIC at our International Office, Ms Cramer, room 2.01. Our university will

International Academic Co-Operations
4. International Academic Co-Operations
Georg Simon Ohm University of Applied Sciences is committed to train its students to be globally
competitive and to provide them with as many international education opportunities as possible.
Hence, our university has established international co-operations with over 130 institutions worldwide
enabling students to pursue one to two semesters at partner universities abroad. Our exchange
agreements with partner institutions are based on a certain number of exchange places available to
OHM students. If there are more applicants for a particular partner university, we will undergo a
selection process.
Alternatively, if you prefer to attend another university - which is not a partner university of the OHM under the fee-paying scheme, you are welcome to do so. In this case, you have to research the
university where you want to study, ask for approval from the faculty and apply to and liaise directly
with the host university.
The overview below shows the international co-operations with agreements of students on Master
level. It includes universities where OHM master students have been on an exchange semester.

Australia - Victoria University, Melbourne
5.
Introducing Melbourne7
5.1
Sophisticated and slick, edgy and rough, Melbourne’s physical and cultural landscape is shaped by a
dynamic population, ever-ravenous for a bite of global culture. The result is Australia’s most
accessible multiculturalism. Ornate Victorian-era architecture and leafy, established boulevards reflect
the city’s history, and cutting-edge developments such as Federation Sq exemplify its enigmatic
contemporary style. But, Melbournians still keep their urban frenzy to a deliciously sedate pace. Trams
lumber back and forth on routes radiating out like spokes from central Melbourne, and cycling is a
common way to get from A to Z.
Character-filled neighborhoods, such as Fitzroy, St Kilda and Carlton, hum with life and the city
produces some of the best art, music, cuisine, fashion, performance, design and ideas in the world.
Melbournians are also devoted to their sport and they go ballistic around the Australian Football
League (AFL; ‘footy’ to the locals) finals and during Spring Racing Carnival. They love to shop, eat
and attend the myriad festivals that the city offers. You’ll even find them defending the city’s
temperamental weather, and if you’ve ever experienced Melbourne’s inclination to plummet from
searing heat to drizzling rain in the space of an hour, you’ll understand that this must be the true
definition of unconditional love.
About Victoria University (VU)8

Australia - University of New England, Armidale, NSW
6.
6.1
Introducing Armidale
10
The New England regional centre of Armidale is famous for its spectacular autumn foliage and
heritage buildings. It is a university town, but even the hundreds of virile students don’t seem to soften
the pensive mood here. SAD (seasonal affective disorder) or not, the town’s history and culture shine
through, courtesy of museums, markets and bewitching surrounds.
6.2
About University of New England (UNE)
11
In 2009 UNE again rated highly in respect of student experience. In the most recent Course

Belgium- Karel de Grote-Hogeschool, Antwerp
7.
7.1
Introducing Antwerp
14
Antwerp has a rollcall of drawing cards. Start with its manageable size and timeless quality. The old
city centre, built around the country’s most impressive cathedral, is as beautiful and intimate as it was
centuries ago. Tucked away in cobbled lanes and backstreets are thousands of restaurants and bars,
antique shops, art galleries, exclusive chocolate outlets, designer boutiques and diamond shops
where Antwerpenaars enjoy spending money.
The whole city is something of an architectural museum, from the medieval riverside fortress to
modern waterfront creations and the famous Cogels-Osylei, where architects ran riot. Most distinctive
is its Gothic and Flemish baroque architecture; it was the home of Pieter Paul Rubens, northern
Europe’s greatest baroque artist. A visit to his home and studio in the city centre gives fabulous insight
into the painter’s personal life, after which you can track down some of his most acclaimed works in
churches and museums dotted around the city.
It doesn’t end there. The world’s largest diamond-cutting industry operates behind discreet façades in
the Jewish neighbourhood. In the sailors’ quarter just north of the city centre, bored women sit framed
in red lights while itinerant Philippino, Sri Lankan and East European seaman wander the seedy
streets. Turkish, African and Chinese communities live northwest of Franklin Rooseveltplaats,
ultratrendy style victims have taken over the fashion district, and businessmen and upper-class
Flemish hang out around Koning Albertpark.
7.2
About Karel de Grote-Hogeschool (KDG)
15
Karel de Grote university college aims to give its students and staff members the opportunity to
discover what their talents are and to further develop these talents. We strongly believe that team
work allows both students and staff members to acquire competences – such as knowledge, skills,
insight and attitudes – that are essential in a working context as well as in the broader context of our
society. One of the most vital competences is, without a doubt, the ability to make an effort for those
who, due to certain circumstances, are not able to fully develop their talents.
7.3
Academic Calendar
16
At Karel de Grote-Hogeschool each academic year starts mid September and activities are put to a
stop at the end of June. Students get to enjoy two weeks of Christmas holidays, two weeks of Easter
holidays and a couple of days off during the year as well. In most of our departments the academic
year is divided into four terms. One term equals six weeks, followed by one or two weeks of
evaluation.
The exact dates of exam periods are not the same for all departments. For information about these
dates, please contact your departmental coordinators.

Chilé - Universidad de Chilé, Santiago
8.
8.1
Introducing Santiago de Chilé
18
On a clear day, fresh after winter showers, Santiago basks in one of the most spectacular settings of
any city in the world. A glance through the downtown blocks reveals a mighty circle of mountains - the
snowcapped Andean peaks to the east, and a smaller coastal range to the west - that frames the
Chilean capital.
A clear day, however, is rare in this smog-blighted metropolis. In art class, Santiago school-kids draw
their horizons a murky gray and, although the air has cleared somewhat in recent years, pollution and
noise are likely to cloud your first impressions, especially in winter.
Don't be put off. Santiago might be dirty and loud, and it might not match the grandeur of Buenos Aires
- but it is cultured, quirky and ambitious. The city rewards the patient traveler. Beyond the conservative
conformity of Santiago Centro, and the soulless towers of the Las Condes financial district, there are
thriving culinary and artistic enclaves that are a joy to uncover. Gourmets feast on world-class cuisine
in Bellavista and Providencia, bohemians gather in the charming old district of Barrio Brasil, while the
city is dotted with fine museums and a flourishing arts scene. With a booming café culture and leafy,
exotic suburban parks, Santiago has an infectious energy and a growing confidence.
And those mountains don't just sit there as decoration - there's a huge range of activities within easy
reach of the urban sprawl. Trekking, climbing, horseback riding, skiing, kayaking and wine tours are
just a few of the exhilarating possibilities at Santiago's doorstep.

Estonia - Estonian Business School, Tallinn
9.
9.1
Introducing Tallinn
22
Tallinn is a heady blend of medieval and modern, with narrow, cobbled streets set beneath the spires
of 14th-century churches, and a wild mix of restaurants, cafés, boutiques and nightclubs hidden in the
carved stone walls.
The World Heritage-listed Old Town has plenty of distractions for even the most ambitious itinerary.
Although large art museums are nonexistent, you'll find some historic gems that illuminate both
Tallinn's medieval past and its long grey days under the Soviet yoke. Meanwhile, its growing gallery
scene showcases Estonia's most creative 21st-century artists.
Colour isn't limited to the art world. The flare of the streets is decidedly fashion-forward, with Tallinn's
boutiques bearing the imprint of rising Estonian designers. This contrasts with the centuries-old artisan
traditions of glassblowing, weaving and pottery, all of which make Tallinn such a shoppers' paradise.
Tallinn's café culture is hard to match. Art-Deco patisseries, cosy, candlelit anterooms and breezy,
sunlit patios are the settings for strong coffee and people-watching - a fine prelude to the city's alluring
restaurants and bars. Decadent old-world dining rooms, charming wine cellars and superstylish bistros
provide the backdrop to exquisite dishes from every savoury corner of the globe.
Tallinn's nightlife rages until the morning, with steamy nightclubs, slinky lounges, expat bars and
colourful gay clubs, all hidden inside the Old Town walls. Culture seekers can sate themselves with
choral concerts, classical recitals, theatre (human or puppet) and plenty of pop, rock and jazz.
Outside the medieval quarters, there's lots to see. Delve into the past at Peter the Great's Kadriorg
Palace, a baroque masterpiece surrounded by idyllic woodlands. Or when the summer sun arrives,
make like a local and head to Pirita or Väna-Jõesuu for a slice of beach action. There are also coastal
islands and a bizarre old cliff-top military base.
9.2

France - Institut Supérieure de Géstion, Paris
12.
12.1 Introducing Paris
31
Paris has all but exhausted the superlatives that can reasonably be applied to any city. Notre Dame
and the Eiffel Tower have been described countless times, as have the Seine and the subtle (and notso-subtle) differences between the Left and Right Banks.
Paris probably has more familiar landmarks than any other city in the world. As a result, first-time
visitors often arrive in the French capital with all sorts of expectations: of grand vistas, of intellectuals
discussing weighty matters in cafés, of romance along the Seine, of naughty nightclub revues, of rude
people who won’t speak English. If you look hard enough, you can probably find all of those.
12.2 About Institut Supérieure de Géstion (ISG)
32
The Institut Supérieur de Gestion (ISG), one of Europe’s leading Business Schools, was founded
as a non-profit organization in 1967 by a group of prominent French corporate executives. ISG has a
long record of educational innovation, using Anglo-Saxon methods of higher education and molding
them to fit international needs. Nearly 16,000 graduates (2,500 from the International programs) hold
positions of authority in some of the largest multinational firms in over 60 countries. More than 60% of
the graduates from the International Program have positions of international stature and 13% have
created their own companies. All courses are given in English, the international language of business.
ISG is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) and is a
member of EFMD, Cladea, UGEI & CGE. Our approach to education both in our International
Bachelor and MBA programs is based upon the desire to provide a multicultural environment which
fosters intellectual development. Students come from all around the world to study at our Paris
Campus.
Two intakes: October and January (see also 14.4 Courses)
For detailed Academic Calendar please refer to the Office of International Relations
http://bba-mba.isg.fr/contact.aspx
12.4 Courses
33 34
The curriculum steeps its MBA students in the fields that constitute the core of any robust MBA,
including: Financial Management, International Marketing, Entrepreneurship, and Information Systems
Management. In addition, the MBA program offers new and up-to-date courses such as: Career
Management & Coaching which offers students a unique opportunity to be prepared for the job market
and meet employers’ increasingly high expectations, Sustainable Development, and Web 2.0 course
that connects students to the new attributes the web has to offer in the business world.
Students' performance and participation in each seminar is graded by the corresponding teacher. ISG
expects all students to be capable of performing at A or B level. A grade point average of 2.7 (B-) is
required for graduation. Students whose grade point is below 2.7 in a given course could have to take
a special written and/or oral examination. Grades are calculated based on class participation,
business case participation, and out-of-class assignments or exams. Students must be present at all
seminars from start to finish, or provide a written explanation in advance of why they will be unable to
attend.

Unless formally announced by letter or email at least 24 hours prior to the seminar, student's
participation in all seminars is mandatory. This is not only necessary for the student to graduate
(# of hours / # of credits), but also a matter of basic respect for professors and classmates.
Students missing seminars - even for understandable reasons - will not obtain the required number of
credit to pass the MBA. Thus, a special arrangement, such as an extra seminar or extra homework,
will be given, on a student-by-student basis.
ISG's grading policy will be forwarded to students' attention and their signature will be requested at the
beginning of the program.
It is mandatory for students to be precisely on time at the beginning of each seminar. A proper attitude
during the seminars is mandatory as well. Unacceptable behavior during the seminars will not be
tolerated. Dress code is casual but professional during seminars.

France - ICN Business School, Nancy
13.
13.1 Introducing Nancy
35
Delightful Nancy has an air of refinement found nowhere else in Lorraine. With a magnificent central
square, several fine museums and sparkling shop windows, the former capital of the dukes of Lorraine
seems as opulent today as it did in the 16th to 18th centuries, when much of the city centre was built.
Nancy has long thrived on a combination of innovation and sophistication. The Art Nouveau
movement flourished here (as the Nancy School) thanks to the rebellious spirit of local artists,
including Émile Gallé (1846–1904), who set out to prove that everyday objects could be drop-dead
gorgeous. As you walk around, keep an eye out for the stained-glass windows and dreamlike, sinuous
grillwork that grace the entrances to many offices, shops and private homes.
13.2 About ICN Business School
36
The ICN Business School, formerly the "Institut Commercial de Nancy", was created in 1905, by the
University of Nancy and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Meurthe-and-Moselle.
The ICN is a prominent member of the Chapter of Schools of Management from the French
Conference of Graduate Schools (Grandes Ecoles) and a member of the ECRICOME Group.
Recognized as one of the leading French Graduate Business Schools, the ICN is also an active
member of the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) and the Association to
Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). In 1985, the ICN achieved a large degree of
autonomy and independence under Article 33 of the Law on Education. Moreover, the school was
granted its own Board of Governors. In 2001 and 2003, the French Government issued Ministerial
Decrees recognizing the ICN as a Private School for Higher Education attached to the University of
Lorraine.

France - Université Nice, Sophia Antipolis
14.
14.1 Introducing Nice
38
It might be a cliché to say Nice has something for everyone, but the Côte d’Azur’s cosmopolitan
capital pretty much does.
Sure, sun seekers sip cocktails on parasoled lounges lining its polished pebbled shores, and kids
splash in the azure sea, while bladers cruise the curved Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels) against a
backdrop of fairy-lit palm trees flanking the promenade des Anglais.
But Nice is much more than just a place for fun in the sun. Art aficionados’ must-sees include major
museums. Archaeological buffs ruminate over the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Cemenelum.
Flaneurs ferret out secret passages leading to narrow pedestrian laneways in the romantic old town,
lingering over the sights and scents of the colourful flower and produce markets, and trawling for
antiques. Festival fans descend for animated events. Gastronomes go gaga over finely prepared food,
from chic little bolt holes to family-style French cooking and Michelin-starred cuisine. Barflies flit to the
perpetually-buzzing watering holes, and hipsters hop between ever-emerging hotspots.
14.2 About Université Nice, Sophia Antipolis
39
Its origin dates back to 1860 - 1870, in this time of the Second Empire, the Russian aristocracy and
adopted English as the Riviera resort. But the builder of Valrose is not an ordinary summer visitor.
Originally ennobled commoner well by the Tsar, Baron Von Derwies is somewhat integrated with the
Russian aristocracy who lives around the Villa Bermond, residence (now destroyed) of the imperial
family. He opts for a remote site but height (topography almost symbolic?): The "Vallon des roses" on
the edge of the Hill of Cimiez.
The student who buys his sandwich and near the gate that lies on the lawn, often unaware that
following in the footsteps of illustrious predecessors: the family of Tsar Alexander II, Princess
Dolgoruky-Yourewsky (morganatic wife of the Tsar) Queen Victoria have enjoyed browsing these
walkways.
The park, which is crossed going from one theater to another, was designed by Joseph Carles, to
whom we owe the layout of the Jardins du Casino in Monte Carlo.
The portal flanked by two monumental towers, which can reach the Boulevard de Cimiez, is due to
Marcel Biasini, the architect who built on the same boulevard one of the most prestigious luxury hotels
of the Riviera: the Regina, for to welcome Queen Victoria and its sequel in 1897. Aristocratic entry if
any, that of "'Castle Valrose", more simply known as "Villa" in low-cons.
Valrose embodies the success of a man from Russia in the 1860s: Baron Von Derwies had promised
to retire in the sun, made his fortune, to devote himself to music. And he keeps his promise by sprout
Park, Castle and concert hall, within three years of record. One of the architects to whom we owe the
decoration of fairy tales is called (this cannot be invented!) Grimm?

Italy - Università degli studi di Ancona
15.
15.1 Introducing Ancona
41
A port town through and through, Ancona’s main tourist draw is to be leaving Ancona. Embarrassingly
lacking in good accommodation, Italy’s largest mid-Adriatic ferry port is trying to develop a tourist
infrastructure. Although fairly grimy and tattered, the town does have a fascinating history, a handful of
sights to warrant an extra day or two, and the downtown is very pedestrian friendly.
15.2 About Università degli studi di Ancona
42
The Università Politecnica delle Marche, which was founded in 1969 in Ancona, offers excellent
conditions for study and research in a stimulating and comfortable environment.
As the first Italian University to obtain Quality Certification in accordance with the International
Standard ISO 9001, the Università Politecnica delle Marche is a point of reference in the region for the
training of both Italian and foreign students. Access to the various academic programmes and
university study resources are facilitated by numerous multimedia centres, by the functional facilities
and by the fully equipped laboratories located in each Faculty.
The academic programmes offer 39 degree courses, 9 first and second level post-graduate diplomas,
4 specialization courses, 33 specialization schools and 5 Ph.D. schools, one for each faculty.
The University has about 17,000 students, 545 professors and researchers, and 565 members of
technical and administrative staff working on the different campuses.
There are five Faculties which are situated on three main campuses:



the Science and Technology Campus, located in Monte Dago, houses the Faculties of
Engineering, Agriculture and Science;
the Biological, Scientific and Health Care Campus in Torrette is a complex specifically built
to meet the needs of the teaching and research activities of the Faculty of Medicine and
Surgery;
the Campus for the faculty of Economics, in Ancona’s historical centre, is situated in the
renovated 19th century ex-barracks called Caserma Villarey.
Other courses run by the Università Politecnica delle Marche are based in the towns of Ascoli Piceno,
Fabriano, Fermo, Macerata, Pesaro and San Benedetto del Tronto.
Students have access to personal computers for an automated search of the 140,000 works found in
the library and for the consultation of databases and electronic periodicals.
The Language Centre ( Centro di supporto per l'Apprendimento delle Lingue-CSAL)) has its main
facilities at the Faculty of Economics where native speakers are on call to guide students in their
language studies by suggesting a specific “made-to measure” syllabus to prepare for university exams
and international certificates.
Students can use the canteens and accommodation situated near the various campuses.
The students’ halls of residence are located in strategic positions and consist in small furnished
apartments with single or double bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchenette, a common room for
socialising, watching TV and studying, as well as a laundry room.
There is a Sports Centre located in Posatora where students and staff can use a climbing wall, a
football field, a five-a-side football field and tennis courts.

Italy - Università degli studi di Trento
16.
16.1 Introducing Trento
45
Trentino’s capital, Trento, has a wealth of history, which is reflected in its fine architecture. At the heart
of town is Piazza del Duomo, with its baroque fountain devoted to Neptune, the mythological god of
the sea. This mountainous city may be a long way from the coast, but the fountain alludes to the
Roman name for the town, Tridentum. Extensive remains of the ancient settlement can still be seen
today.
Even before the Romans showed up around 500 BC, Celts had inhabited the area for about 2000
years. After the Romans came the Goths, then the Lombards. The town was eventually annexed by
the Holy Roman Empire and became an Episcopal principality, frequently clashing with Tyrolean rulers
to the north. The bishop-princes’ residence was the immense Castello del Buonconsiglio.
At the urging of local bishop-prince Bernardo Clesio (1484–1539), it was here in Trento (or Trent, its
historical anglicized name) that the basis was formed for the Counter-Reformation. The city’s
Romanesque cathedral was the meeting point for the Council of Trent (1545–63), which oversaw the
restructuring of the Catholic Church to stem the tide of Protestantism, with far-reaching implications
regarding the separation of Church and State.
Strolling around the city’s streets, monuments and museums gives you a palpable sense of the history
that unfolded here. Walking tours, led by guides who really know their stuff, are a great way to gain a
deeper insight.
There’s more to Trento than just its pivotal history. This fresh, relaxed city has a lively centre and is
the perfect jumping-off point for a host of activities in the nearby ski fields and the Parco Naturale
Adamello-Brenta.
16.2 About Università degli studi di Trento
46
The University of Trento offers several study/research opportunities for international guests (students,
Phds, researchers, faculties, etc.) in cooperation with many foreign universities located all over.
Participating in the LLP-Erasmus programme, the Double Degree Programme or in an
international project (Erasmus Mundus, International Agreements, EU Canada, etc.), interested
students may spend at Trento a period of study/research varying from 3 months to 2 years (as
exchange or degree seeking student, depending on the project). Trento offers strong academic
support and a wide range of services to foster social inclusion in the local community.

16.4 Courses
47
Exchange students spending a period of study/research at Trento University in the framework of an
international project can attend courses and take exams in one or more faculties (or schools). The
choice of courses is restricted: I- and II-level master courses (with duration 1 year) and some master
courses entirely taught in English may not be available to exchange students under fee waiver
agreements (LLP Erasmus students excluded). Moreover the access to courses depends on the
requirements foreseen in the of the relevant international project agreement and on the
academic/linguistic requirements of the course itself.
To make sure the courses choice is correct and reliable, the exchange student has to draft a learning
agreement, to be pre-approved by the home university and by the University of Trento. More detailed
information is available on the programme/project website: see the left menu under "Study in our
University". Contacts of the relevant office are also provided.
Courses taught in Italian are open to international students with Italian proficiency (CIAL, the
48
University language Centre, offers courses of Italian language for foreign students al several levels).

Malaysia - Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang (USM)
17.
17.1 Introducing Penang
49
Back when the distinction between governments, armies and companies was less precise, the Britishbased East India Company sailed into Penang harbour and took over the 28-sq-km island as its first
settlement on the Malay peninsula, a move intended to break Dutch Melaka’s monopoly of the spice
trade.
What evolved on the formerly unpopulated ‘Betel Nut Island’ was a bustling port. Entrepreneurs of
every imaginable ethnicity, most notably Chinese, flocked to this new land, creating wealth and
cultural hybrids. Like many company settlements, Penang wilted after the collapse of the British
Empire. Today it’s become the ‘Silicon Valley’ of Malaysia although this high-tech world is scarcely
noticeable to the casual traveler. Beyond the capital Georgetown’s heat and decay are beach resorts,
such as Batu Ferringhi and the sleepy Malay fishing village of Teluk Bahang.
50
17.2 About Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)

Malaysia – University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur
18.
18.1 Introducing Kuala Lumpur
52
Kuala Lumpur – KL to its friends – is more than just a capital city: it is a monument to Malaysian
ingenuity and determination. From humble beginnings as a tin-mining shanty town, KL has evolved
into a 21st-century metropolis, dominated by the tallest skyscrapers in Southeast Asia and flush with
the proceeds of international trade and commerce. Over the years, KL has faced its share of
challenges but nothing has succeeded in suppressing the determination of locals to make KL,
and Malaysia, a leader among Asian tiger economies.
The marketing slogan for the Malaysian tourist board is ‘truly Asia’ and nowhere is this more true than
in the capital. KL is every inch the Asian cyber-city: historic temples and mosques rub shoulders with
space-age towers and shopping malls; traders’ stalls are piled high with pungent durians and
counterfeit DVDs; and locals sip cappuccino in wi-fi–enabled coffee hops or feast at bustling streetside
hawker stalls serving food from across the continent.
The most striking thing about KL from a visitor’s perspective is its remarkable cultural diversity. Ethnic
Malays, Chinese prospectors, Indian migrants and British colonials all helped carve the city out of the
virgin jungle, and each group has left its indelible mark on the capital. Eating, shopping and nightlife
are undeniable highlights of any visit to KL, but don’t restrict yourself to the city – there are numerous
parks and monuments dotted around KL that make easy day trips for a break from the hustle and
bustle.

Mexico - Tecnológico de Monterrey
19.
19.1 Introducing Monterrey
55
Self-confident Monterrey is Mexico’s third-largest city, second-largest industrial center and numero
uno in per capita income. You may never have heard of it, but ‘La Sultana del Norte’ is bold enough to
have made a bid for the 2016 Olympic Games.
With sprawling suburbs of gargantuan, air-conditioned malls, manicured housing estates and the
nation’s first new Taco Bells, Monterrey is one of Mexico’s most Americanized cities, but those who
bypass it in favor of the ‘real’ Mexico are missing a vital piece of the national puzzle.
Regardless of its station in modern Mexico, Monterrey is well worth a few days of your trip. Its historic
heart, where most of the main attractions are clustered, has plenty of metropolitan élan: iconic modern
architecture, world-class museums and urbane restaurants. The city is also a good place to party, with
a dynamic live-music scene, flashy techno clubs and lovely lounge bars. Jagged mountains, including
the distinctive saddle-shaped Cerro de la Silla (1288m), make a dramatic backdrop for the city and
provide ample opportunities for outdoor adventures.
19.2 About Tecnológico de Monterrey
56
We were founded in 1943 as a result of the far-reaching vision and the commitment of Eugenio Garza
Sada and a group of businessmen who drew up a charter for a non-profit association: Enseñanza e
Investigación Superior, A. C.
We are a private, non-profit, independent educational institution with no political or religious affiliation.
In order to function as an educational institution, we operate under the statute of an Independent
University. We are currently an essential part of the Tecnológico de Monterrey System.
Our work –and that of all of our campuses- is supported by civil associations made up of a large
number of prominent leaders from across the country who are committed to quality in higher
education.
We also enjoy nationwide community support for the raffles organized by Sorteo Tec, with proceeds
earmarked for the expansion of the institution’s scholarship program as well as its investment in
infrastructure.
This is compounded by the generous contributions of a large group of donor companies and
individuals and of the Tecnológico de Monterrey Friends and Alumni Philanthropy Network, which
support a scholarship program which helps students with living expenses.
Today, we are a multi-campus university system with 33 campuses throughout Mexico. We have also
established an international presence through our 21 sites and numerous liaison offices in 12 foreign
countries, offering information and continuing education programs, and carrying out consulting and
research projects.
Our educational offering consists of a wide assortment of undergraduate majors, specializations,
master’s degree programs, medical specialty programs, and Ph. D. programs in the fields of
agriculture, architecture, business and management, communications and journalism, design and
applied art, education, engineering and sciences, food technology, health, the humanities and social
sciences, information technology and electronics, and law.
Some of the graduate fields have evolved into national schools specializing in business administration
and leadership, public administration and policy, and education.
Also available are high school programs with a choice of bilingual, bicultural, and International
Baccalaureate tracks. In addition, we offer programs targeting continuing education and knowledge
updating for professionals, companies, and organizations.

Norway - University of Nordland, Bodo
20.
20.1 Introducing Bodo
58
Bodø, Nordland’s largest town, was founded in 1816 as a trade centre, then turned to fishing in 1860
during an especially lucrative herring boom. The town centre, rebuilt after being almost completely
levelled by WWII bombing, is unexciting architecturally – and in summer it can reek of the fish that
sustain it – but it’s open, tidy and has a pleasant marina. The city’s main charm lies in its backdrop of
distant rugged peaks and vast skies; while dramatic islands that support the world’s densest
concentration of white-tailed sea eagles – not for nothing is Bodø known as the Sea Eagle Capital –
dot the seas to the north.
20.2 About University of Nordland UIN
59
University of Nordland is a government-funded state university led by an appointed rector and an
appointed university director. The university is governed by The University Board. The

The Philippines -University of Asia and the Pacific, Pasing City
21.
61
21.1 Introducing Manila
It's a pity that Manila is often disparaged, as there's much here to like. For one, all the adjectives often
used to describe the Philippines - jovial, laid back, casual, corrupt, shambolic, earnest and more are
on display here more than anywhere else in the country. It's a truly teeming metropolis that gets bigger
each day, both in population, with people pouring in from the hinterlands, and size, as new
developments in all directions swallow up villages and rice fields.
Manila can be a very discombobulated place, for it is really just a collection of towns with no definable
centre. The walled Intramuros area was the traditional centre of Manila, but was mostly wiped out in
WWII and has never recovered. Binondo, Quiapo, Ermita and Malate have never been more than a
supporting cast for a star that doesn't exist. Still, you may well find lots of fun in Ermita and Malate,
while Binondo and Quiapo have a certain raw energy and unique markets. And Intramuros is a good
place to explore, just to find the bones of its past.
Other parts of town are more lively. At the centre of modern Manila is Makati, the commercial centre
for the country. Here, in almost orderly surroundings, you can shop, eat and drink to your heart's
content. It transcends the generic-mall syndrome by having its own unique vibe that comes from the
hordes of locals who come here to work, relax and play. As many will tell you, 'this is the Manila we
wish we had'.
21.2 About University of Asia and the Pacific UAP
62
The University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) is a private, not-for-profit institution of higher learning
that offers some of the most outstanding academic programs in Asia. It provides a powerful
combination of liberal education and professional specialization. The formation of UA&P students is
facilitated by an environment conducive to learning, qualified and dedicated teachers, a superior
faculty-to-student ratio, and well-maintained facilities.
Brief History
UA&P began in 1967 as the Center for Research and Communication, a think tank conducting
research and offering graduate courses in economics and management. CRC started out small and
inconspicuous, but gradually expanded its educational activities. It was awarded university status in
1995, and although it has since been known as the University of Asia and the Pacific, the mission
remains the same: the fullest development of everything that is human in the individual.

Poland - Kraków University of Economics, Kraków
22.
22.1 Introducing Kraków
64
Kraków, which celebrated its 750th birthday in 2007, is by far Poland’s biggest drawcard, and it’s
immediately apparent why. As the royal capital for 500 years, the city was able to absorb much history
and talent over the centuries and is today a treasure trove of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.
Miraculously, this jewellery box emerged largely intact after WWII. As a result, no other city in Poland
can boast so many historic buildings and monuments or such a vast collection of artworks, with some
2.3 million registered.
Wawel Castle is Kraków’s centrepiece and a must-see, but most visitors will find themselves drawn to
the Old Town, with its soaring Gothic churches and gargantuan Rynek Główny (Main Market Sq), the
largest in the nation. Just outside the Old Town lies the former Jewish quarter Kazimierz, its silent
synagogues reflecting the tragedy of the recent past.
Kraków is well endowed with attractions and diversions of a more modern variety, with hundreds of
restaurants, bars and music clubs tucked away down its cellars and narrow alleyways. Though hotel
prices are above the national average, and visitor numbers are very high in summer, this vibrant,
cosmopolitan city is an essential part of any visit to Poland.
22.2 About Kraków University of Economics
65
As one of the leading universities of economics in Poland, we offer excellent opportunities for study
and research at various levels. High quality of teaching, student-friendly atmosphere, modern
infrastructure of the functional campus and recreational, social and sport facilities - all these attract
thousands of students each year.
Krakow is one of the oldest and largest academic centres in Poland. A great number of students come
here both from Poland and many other countries. The city boasts as many as 23 higher education
institutions attended by some 210 thousand students. This is here, in Krakow, where one of Europe's
oldest universities is located - the Jagiellonian University, attended by Nicolaus Copernicus.
A large number of schools and students from all over the world make Krakow a friendly and open
place with lots of various cultural events. Some of those events are organized by students themselves
including "Juvenalia" - a feast of Krakow's Students. During the three days of "Juvenalia" students
"rule" the city. Numerous concerts take place, and students (wearing funny clothes) are received by
the Mayor of Krakow, who gives them the keys to the city. Apart from the educational offering, the
exciting cultural and night life, students are attracted by the atmosphere of the city itself and the charm
of its old architecture.

PRC - Sun Yat-Sen School of Business, Guangzhou
23.
23.1 Introducing Guangzhou
67
Known to many in the West as ‘Canton’, Guǎngzhōu is the first city most travellers to mainland China
visit. Wrapped in a perpetual haze of pink smog and flashing neon lights, the city overwhelms with its
energy, colour, and sheer size. Influenced by neighbouring Hong Kong, consumerism has swept up
the city in a head-spinning frenzy, but scratch away Guǎngzhōu’s glittery surface and you’ll find a
place quite special among China’s major urban centres. It just takes some time to grow on you.
It wasn’t long ago that Guǎngzhōu exemplified the worst of rampant urbanisation: never-ending
flyovers, ugly architecture and traffic-clogged streets. In recent years, the city has been given a
makeover and its scrubbed-up appearance has given it a cosmopolitan edge. Stodgy concrete
apartment blocks are giving way to shiny high rises and shopping plazas. Efforts to relieve traffic
congestion have resulted in a clean, modern metro system and tougher traffic laws. Trees and flowers
have been planted on roadsides and well-kept gardens and parks add splashes of colour to the
contemporary grey landscape.
The city remains as chaotic as ever, but underneath all the glitz and noise there are pockets that still
retain their character from earlier years. Many of the elegant churches, villas and mansions on the
former foreign enclave of Shamian Island have been restored, and you’ll find hidden among
Guǎngzhōu’s back lanes some lovely old residences, temples and gardens that haven’t been touched
in generations..

Russia – Lomonosov Moscow State University
24.
24.1 Introducing Moscow
70
Moscow is a city of superlatives. It boasts the most billionaires, the most expensive cups of coffee and
– coming soon – the most colossal building in the world. It is also the most expensive and, according
to one poll, the most unfriendly city in the world. Is it any wonder that a popular nightclub is called
simply The Most?
Moscow may occupy the number one spot, but these lists hardly capture the reality – the vitality – of
the capital. Free (relatively) from the strictures of censorship and hardship, Russia’s capital city is
experiencing a burst of creative energy, evident in all aspects of contemporary culture. Former
factories and deserted warehouses have been converted into edgy art galleries and
intriguing underground clubs. World-class venues such as the Pushkin Fine Arts Museum are
experimenting and expanding. Tchaikovsky and Chekhov are well represented at Moscow theatres but
you can also see world premieres by up-and-coming composers, choreographers and playwrights.
Foodies flock to wine bars, coffee bars, sushi bars and even beer bars, while night owls enjoy a
dynamic scene of exclusive nightclubs, bohemian art cafés, underground blues bars and drink-up
dives. The ancient city has always been a haven for history buffs. The red-brick towers of
the Kremlin occupy the founding site of Moscow; churches and monuments remember fallen
heroes and victorious battles; and remains of the Soviet state are scattered all around the city. Even
history is being examined in innovative ways, as new museums broach subjects long brushed under
the carpet.
The capital is even experiencing an unprecedented growth in birth rates (Muscovites are really getting
busy). From artistry and history to recreation and procreation, Moscow is a cauldron of creativity. Dare
we say that it is so much more than The Most?
24.2 About Lomonosov Moscow State University
71
Moscow State University is a major traditional educational institution in Russia; it offers training in
almost all branches of modern science and humanities. Its undergraduates may choose one of 128
qualifications in its 39 faculties, while post-graduate students may specialize in 18 branches of science
and humanities and in 168 different areas. The total number of MSU students exceeds 40,000;
besides, about 10,000 high school students attend various clubs and courses at MSU. Various kinds
of academic courses and research work are conducted at MSU Museums, affiliated subdivisions in
various locations in Russia, on board scientific ships etc.
MSU is a centre of research science famous for its major scientific schools. There have been 11 Nobel
Prize winners among its professors and alumni, out of 18 Russians who have received the prestigious
prize so far. Many more MSU scientists have been awarded various Soviet and Russian prizes for
their achievements, among them 60 Lenin Prizes and 120 State Prizes, over 40 MSU scientists having
received the State Prizes over the last decade.

Russia - St Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance
25.
25.1 Introducing St. Petersburg
73
St Petersburg has always been a city of ideas. Petersburgers incited the Russian Revolution, ushering
in 70 years of communist rule. And it was St Petersburg that encouraged democracy when the tide
began to change.
Nowadays, this city’s citizens are breaking down the barriers of generations past and exploring new
ideas, investigating the possibilities of consumerism, creativity and career. It’s not only Rastrelli’s
architecture and Tchaikovsky’s operas that entice visitors, but also beatnik bands, edgy art galleries,
underground clubs and delectable dining. St Pete’s bohemian side gives a glimpse into the 21st
century; and (to borrow a communist slogan) the future is bright!
St Petersburg is legendary for its White Nights: those long summer days when the sun barely dips
below the horizon. Revels start in May, when the city finally succumbs to spring and the parks are
filled with flowering trees. But even when the skies are grey and the ground is covered in snow, the
rich culture of St Petersburg dazzles and delights.

Spain - Universidad de Oviedo, Gijón
27.
27.1 Introducing Gijón
79
The impetuous Bay of Biscay (or Cantabrian Sea as it is known locally), which embraces the city of
Gijón, has marked its history for over 5,000 years.
Seaport to the Ruta de la Plata, Gijón keeps its Roman past alive through the actions taken in the
Campa de Torres Archaeological Site, one of the main fortified settlements of the north of Spain
(before 490 B.C.), and especially in the restored baths complex at Campo Valdés, a public building
which dates from the end of the 1st century A.D.
The territory was occupied continuously during the Middle Ages, proof of which are the Romanesque
churches dating from the 12th and 13th centuries. The founding of the Puebla (Village) in 1270 implied
an urban expansion that was to come to a standstill at the end of the 14th century, when Gijón
became the stage for the Trastámara conflicts, during which the town was almost completely
destroyed.
In the 18th century, the erudite Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos laid out the plans for the development
of Gijón. The process of industrialisation begun in the mid-19th century changed the city into the
industrial centre of Asturias, with its leading El Musel Port, shipyards and numerous manufacturing
installations.
The progressive modernization of the city, along with its own excellent natural conditions, has turned
Gijón into a city that attracts a growing number of visitors, drawn by a good offer of culture and sports
and a strong service sector. Now, at the beginning of a new century, Gijón is doing its utmost to
preserve its remote historical past and to display this as an example of its touristic excellence.
27.2 About Universidad de Oviedo
80
In 2008, the University of Oviedo celebrated its 400th Anniversary. Since it was founded by the
Archbishop Valdés Salas, it has kept its commitment to service to Asturias according to the core
values of the society throughout History.
In this day and age, the University of Oviedo, one of the oldest in Spain, ratifies its commitment to the
social, cultural and economic development of our region.
From this perspective, the University of Oviedo works to obtain national and international prestige for
the quality of its teaching and research, and the excellence of its services. It identifies itself with the
European Higher Education Area principles. As a consequence, one of our firm targets is to promote
research activities and teaching renewal during the next years according to the quality standards
required by our society. Particularly, parallel to our main mission that consists of student training, we
unite our efforts to provide recent graduates with the knowledge and skills required by the labour
market. This is the way how the University of Oviedo supports its students on their way to achieve
professional maturity and to become the pillars of the social and economic progress of Asturias.

Spain - Universidad San Pablo, Madrid
28.
28.1 Introducing Madrid
82
Madrid is an ex-convent schoolgirl, a rebellious teenager who pushed the boundaries of hedonism and
then grew up and got sophisticated without ever forgetting how to have fun. That’s why this is a city as
at home in the nightclubs and bars that give the streets their soundtrack as it is in the hallowed halls of
high culture.
It’s true that Spain’s capital doesn’t have the immediate cachet of Rome, Paris or even that other city
up the road, Barcelona. Its architecture is beautiful, but there’s no Colosseum, no Eiffel Tower, no
Gaudí-inspired zaniness to photograph and then tell your friends back home, ‘this is Madrid’. But this
city is an idea, a way of living for the moment that can be hard to resist.
Madrid’s calling cards are many: astonishing art galleries, relentless nightlife, its transformation into
Spain’s premier style city, an exceptional live music scene, a feast of fine restaurants and tapas bars,
and a population that’s mastered the art of living the good life. It’s not that other cities don’t have some
of these things. It’s just that Madrid has all of them in bucketloads.
28.2 About Universidad CEU San Pablo
83
La Universidad CEU San Pablo se fundó hace 75 años para formar humana y profesionalmente a
los futuros dirigentes de la sociedad española. Ministros, directores de grandes empresas nacionales
e internacionales, escritores y pensadores, artistas, profesores universitarios y científicos han salido
de nuestras aulas.
CEU-USP es una Universidad de poco más de siete mil alumnos y con un claustro docente de 890
profesores, la mayoría de ellos doctores, que en un porcentaje muy alto ocupan puestos relevantes
en la administración española, empresas y mundo cultural. A través de su profesorado nuestra
Universidad participa de forma activa en la sociedad española, al tiempo que convierte nuestras aulas
en centros académicos vivos atentos a las demandas y los adelantos del presente.
Contamos con numerosos laboratorios científicos, aulas informáticas y de idiomas, platós de radio y
televisión, periódico de prácticas, etc. al servicio de nuestros alumnos, para el día que se integren en
el mercado laboral y de la investigación conozcan a la perfección el mundo en el que van a
desarrollar su trabajo profesional. Nuestro Departamento de Prácticas y Empleo (COIE) garantiza a
todos los alumnos de la Universidad y Erasmus el poder realizar sus prácticas en las más importantes
empresas de España y también en el extranjero. Nuestra bolsa de trabajo está entre las cinco
mejores de todo el sistema universitario español.
La Universidad CEU San Pablo está realizando una apuesta decidida por la internacionalización de
sus estudios. Esta política se corresponde con la vocación internacional que desde su creación ha
desarrollado el CEU, y que alcanza tanto a nuestros profesores como a nuestros alumnos.
Como muestra de esta inspiración internacional, se han puesto en marcha los Programas Bilingües
en los estudios de grado y postgrado, el Programa de Prácticas Internacionales, la Summer
University, y el Programa de Movilidad Internacional del profesorado y del personal de administración
y servicios.
Junto a las actividades puramente docentes e investigadoras, nuestra Universidad muestra especial
cuidado en la formación cultural y deportiva. En nuestros campus universitarios se realizan sesiones
de cineforum, clases de baile y ligas internas de numerosos deportes. Los alumnos españoles y

South Africa - Stellenbosch University
29.
29.1 Introducing Stellenbosch
86
Situated at the head of the Eerste (First) River Valley, Stellenbosch was one of the first valleys to be
settled in. The area is full of charming scenes and rich in history. The towns, villages and farmlands
contain finely preserved examples of one of the most serene forms of domestic architecture found
anywhere in the world - the Cape-Dutch style.
Today’s Stellenbosch still pays homage to culture and heritage, as the town has done since its humble
Dutch origins. Each new generation of architects, buildings and town planners used the inspiration of
their predecessors to ensure that the aesthetic values of Stellenbosch remained intact. The result is
that to this day, the influence of many architectural styles over the last three centuries is to be seen in
the meticulously restored buildings throughout the town.
From the whitewashed Anglican Church and museums surrounding the emerald green Braak Stellenbosch’s historical centre - to the myriad Cape Dutch farmhouses and the 19th century
university buildings, the town exudes history and good taste.
This visual effect of Stellenbosch is of course, compounded by the fact that the town is surrounded by
spectacular mountains and some of the world’s most famous vineyards adding to the town and
region’s attractiveness to the local and international tourist.
29.2 About Stellenbosch University
87
Stellenbosch University offers a range of opportunities for international students who are normally
enrolled elsewhere to come to Stellenbosch and follow courses, usually at undergraduate but also at
postgraduate level, depending on the student’s academic background and the availability of places on
courses.
The Postgraduate & International Office maintains the university's agreements with our Exchange
Partners. As such, we are the contact point for prospective students from our Exchange Partners who
wish to come to Stellenbosch University for one or two semesters on exchange. To find out what's on

Independent students who wish to spend one or two semesters at Stellenbosch University but who are
not enrolled at one of our Exchange Partners may apply to come here as "Freemovers". In addition to
this direct enrolment, students may decide to apply to come to Stellenbosch via programme providers.
Students who wish to come to Stellenbosch University to do their practical training/internship or who
wish to join a department to do some research may apply to come as Affiliated Students. Such
students are research-only students.
In addition to the semester options, the Postgraduate & International Office offers an annual Summer

Sweden – Örebro University
30.
30.1 Introducing Örebro
89
The city of Örebro is situated in the heart of Sweden, about halfway between Stockholm and
Göteborg. It is easily accessible by major roads, railways and by air. From the Örebro region,
everything Scandinavia has to offer is within easy reach. The population of about 130.000 makes it the
seventh largest town in Sweden.
Attractive Örebro has a particularly romantic-looking castle, which is surrounded by a dazzling moat
filled with waterlilies. It's certainly a great city to amble round, especially when the weather's fine.
Örebro was built on a prosperous textile industry, and it became a university city in 1998. Most of the
city was rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1854.
30.2 About Örebro University
Örebro University is one of the fastest growing universities in Sweden. They have 17,000 students and
1,200 staff.
Örebro university is a modern, forward-looking university that in a short time has reached an
impressive width in education as well as research. The attractive and extensive campus has grown
constantly to house new students, new programs and new research.
Örebro University cooperates with trade and industry, county councils, municipalities and
organisations in the region as well as nationally and internationally.

Sweden – Linnaeus University, Växjö
31.
31.1 Introducing Växjö
91
A venerable old market town, Växjö (pronounced vak-choo, with the 'ch' sound as in the Scottish 'loch'
- ask a local to demonstrate!), in Kronobergs län, is a very important stop for Americans seeking their
Swedish roots. In mid-August, Karl Oscar Days commemorates the mass 19th-century emigration
from the area, and the Swedish-American of the year is chosen. There's also a fantastic glass
collection in town…
31.2 About Linnaeus University
92
Linnaeus University is a modern, international university in the Småland region of Sweden. On 1st
January 2010, Linnaeus University opened its doors for the first time as Sweden’s newest university,
the result of a merger between Kalmar University and Växjö University.
Linnaeus University pursues teaching and research in Kalmar and Växjö. Kalmar, with its close
proximity to the coast and the Baltic Sea, is noted for its prominent research in the natural sciences.In
Växjö, the humanities and social sciences are strong research areas, as well as research connected
with the forestry and the wood industry.
With 35,000 students and 2,000 employees, Linnaeus University is one of the larger universities in
Sweden. The concept of close connections is a guiding principle in our work. At Linnaeus University
there is an active student life, with close relations between students, researchers and other members
of staff.
Like Linnaeus, our roots are in the Småland region of southern Sweden. In the true spirit of Linnaeus,
we see no limitations in the wide-ranging scope of our work. The university profiles in Kalmar and
Växjö are truly international, with major opportunities for participation in both regional and worldwide
networks.

Sweden - University West, Trollhättan
32.
32.1 Introducing Trollhättan
94
The river gorge surrounding the falls and the locks is one of the most beautiful, unique environments
in the country. The magic and majesty of the scenery draw about 400 000 visitors every year and the
area is slated to become the second National City Park in Sweden.
You will easily understand why if you take a bike ride down to Gamle Dal (the Old Valley) early in the
summer for a delightful al fresco meal. Or walk hand in hand down Kärlekens stig (The Lane of lovers)
with someone special on a romantic autumn day to admire the magnificent landscape west of the river
above the Olidan power plant.
Trollhättan is a lively commercial centre with wonderful small shops downtown and a large shopping
centre on the outskirts of the city, and the array of cultural and leisure activities is equally varied and
interesting. Cinemas, theatre and music, several fascinating museum and a diverse range of
associations to name just a few.
32.2 About University West
95

33.1 Introducing the Lake Geneva Region
97
East of Geneva, Western Europe's biggest lake stretches like a giant liquid mirror between Frenchspeaking Canton de Vaud (pronounced Voh; Waadt in German) on its northern shore and France to
the south.
Known to most as Lake Geneva, to Francophones (except some in Geneva!) it is Lac Léman. Lined by
the elegant city of Lausanne and a phalanx of pretty smaller towns, the Swiss side of the lake presents
the marvellous emerald spectacle of tightly ranked vineyards spreading in terraces up the steep
hillsides of the Lavaux area. These grapes and those grown to the west of Lausanne produce some
fine tipples and it is possible to visit some caveaux (cellars). Modest beaches, often backed by
peaceful woodland, dot the lake, and around Montreux the climate is mild enough for palm trees to
thrive.
Jutting out over the waters of the lake near Montreux is the fairytale Château de Chillon, the first of
many that await exploration a short way inland.
Lake-lovers can head north to Yverdon-les-Bains, which sits on the southern tip of Lac de Neuchâtel
and offers the chance to relax in tempting thermal baths.
At its southeast corner the canton rises into the magnificent mountain country of the Alpes Vaudoises
(Vaud Alps), a hikers' paradise in spring and summer, and skiers' haven in winter. Those addicted to
the white stuff can even indulge in moderate summer skiing across the impressive Les Diablerets
glacier.
33.2 About University of Applied Sciences and Art Western Switzerland HES-SO
98
A vast reservoir of skills, ideas, innovations, creativity and knowledge, the HES-SO is keen to play a
major role in the socio-economic development of the country, and is proud of the fresh impetus it is
able to give to Western Switzerland.
The organisation of the HES-SO
Opened in 1997, the HES-SO is the largest professional higher education network in Switzerland. It
currently hosts some 17’200 students: key dates.
Its 27 schools located in the cantons of Fribourg, Geneva, Jura, Neuchâtel, Valais, Vaud and Berne,
its 33 sites offer courses and other services in six major fields of study: Engineering and Architecture,
Management and Services, Design and Fine Arts, Health, Social Work and Music and Theater.
The HES-SO has its head office at Delémont. This is where the administration and other central
departments are located: organisational chart.
The Strategic Committees form the highest decision-making body of the HES-SO. They are supported
by an external council, the Advisory Board, made up of representatives from commercial and
academic environments. An interparliamentary commission is responsible for the control of the HESSO. This commission is made up of seven cantonal delegations, each with seven members.
The Board of Directors is the higher operational body; it draws up documents on the basis of which the
Strategic Committees make their decisions, and then ensures these decisions are carried out. It is
responsible for the general coordination of the HES-SO, for the implementation of its missions and for
the global financial management. It is made up of the directors of the HES-SO cantonal
establishments and the heads of the fields of study.

which determines the basic principles governing the Universities of Applied Sciences, their status and
their missions.
Basic education
The education provided by the HES-SO is practically-oriented, preparing students for professional
careers which require the application of knowledge and scientific methods.
Continuing education – postgraduate studies

The HES-SO is active in the field of applied research and development, maintaining close cooperation
with scientific and commercial organisations. Its own teaching also benefits from the integration of the
results of this work. The HES-SO provides support for the use of this research and provides services
to third parties (companies, cultural, social or health institutions).

Taiwan - Feng Chia University, Taichung
34.
34.1 Introducing Taichung
100
Taichung (Táizhōng), the third-largest city in Taiwan, is hardly a must-see for the short-term visitor,
though many long-term expats do enjoy it as a weekend getaway. The city has several pleasant tea
and restaurant streets, an excellent science museum and a very good art museum, which includes a
top-of-the-line storybook fantasyland library for children. Taichung is also a bright ray of sunshine
(literally) on a dreary winter day for those living in the capital. Taipei and Taichung have very similar
average temperatures but Taichung is much drier, receiving around 1700mm of rain a year compared
with Taipei’s 2170mm.
34.2 About Feng Chia University FCU
101
In the 1950s, a group of intellectuals in central Taiwan proposed the establishment of the Feng Chia
College of Engineering and Business to commemorate Feng-Chia Chiu, an important Chinese military
strategist, educator and poet. In 1961, the College was formally opened near Datun Mountain in the
northern part of Taichung City. Two years later, the College was moved to its present site in Xitun
District in the western section of Taichung City. Following this move, the campus increased in size
with the addition of buildings and facilities and there were corresponding increases in the student body
and faculty. In 1980, the College became today’s Feng Chia University (FCU).
Over the past 50 years, FCU has continued to grow in size and reputation to become one of the most
prestigious comprehensive universities in Taiwan. FCU is currently comprised of eight colleges
(Colleges of Engineering, Business, Sciences, Construction and Development, Humanities and Social
Sciences, Information and Electrical Engineering and Finance, as well as the School of Management
Development). These colleges offer 35 undergraduate programs, more than 50 Master’s degree and
Master’s degree for working professionals programs and dozens of doctoral degree programs, as well
as a diversity of continuing education and lifelong learning courses.
FCU’s faculty and administrative staff number more than 1,700. Currently, FCU enrolls nearly 20,000
undergraduate, graduate and continuing education students. Its more than 150,000 graduates serve
as leaders in a diversity of fields both in Taiwan and abroad.
FCU has become an urban university characterized by diversity, refinement, internationalization and
digitalization. Its objective is to operate in Greater China while forging strong ties with the world. It is
meeting this goal through its excellence in education, outstanding learning environment, meaningful
research and strong community service.
At FCU, we hold fast to the ideals of holistic education and the creation of an equilibrium that balances
ethics, knowledge, athletics, social activities and the arts. The school’s motto is “loyalty, diligence,
sincerity and perseverance”. This school spirit is at the core of FCU’s leadership role in higher
education in the Asia-Pacific region and its reputation for outstanding education and breakthrough
research.

USA - Barry University, Miama Shores, FL
36.
36.1 Introducing Miami/ Miami Shores, FL
106
Little known fact: on the Eighth Day, God shook all the eccentrics of America into the nation’s
Southeast corner pocket. And They Became South Florida. And It Was Weird.
Here’s how it works: cruise down I-95 from the northeast corridor and at some point, near Richmond,
you cross the invisible line separating the North from the South. Now go further, all the way to
America’s tip. Somewhere around Orlando, you crossed another line, separating the rest of Florida
from reality. Here in Miami, the Everglades and the Keys, things are a little Alice in Sweaty
Wonderland. It’s the weather, y’know; all the humidity and hurricanes drive everyone a little crazy. And
the alligators. And the mosquitoes, goddamn them. And the people, of course.
What was once a citrus farming town is now a pan-American mosaic, the most Latin city in the world
north of Mexico. Throw in enterprising Caribbean immigrants, Jewish Holocaust survivors and their
children, a fantabulous gay party scene, mad rednecks, the cast-off spawn of the dinosaur age
cruising local waterways, and a South Beach celebrity scene that would make OK! magazine wee
itself in joy, and, well…Look guys: it’s weird here. And beautiful. Think of those clean lines slimming
down a deco hotel on Miami Beach. The impossibly sexy people lining up at a Fort Lauderdale club.
That pale full moon making love to the Everglades on a dank, sweaty night.
Which isn’t to say modern Miami lacks problems. This international city has both the cheerful energy
and hungry Third World edge of the Caribbean and Latin America. Economic inequality is rampant,
and the grandiose spirit of American capitalism has mixed with Miami’s Latin/Mediterranean flair,
making the gulf between the haves and have-nots here seem particularly vast.
But that shimmering mirage of wealth and sex is also what makes this town so fun and fast. ‘The
World is Yours’ was the iconic catchphrase of Scarface, a movie that captured the highs and lows of
Miami’s hyperextravagant 1980s, and the citizens of this town have taken that motto to heart.
West of here is the Everglades, possibly the most unique ecosystem in North America, a flooded
wetland that feels like nature’s own musty womb. To the north, Fort Lauderdale sips a martini by its
yachting fleets. Down south stretch the mangrove islands and sultry sandbars of the Florida Keys,
islands of both exile and refuge for those nonconformists who are too out there for even South
Florida’s misfit mentality.
36.2 About Barry University

Dominican tradition. Founded in 1940 in Miami, Florida, the University enrolls 2,747 full-time

USA - Pfeiffer University, Charlotte, NC
38.
38.1 Introducing Charlotte, NC
112
The largest city in North Carolina and the biggest US banking center after New York, Charlotte has the
sprawling, sometimes faceless look of many New South suburban megalopolises. But although Queen
City, as it’s known, is primarily a business town, it’s got a few good museums, stately old
neighborhoods and lots of fine food.
Busy Tryon St cuts through skyscraper-filled downtown Charlotte, known as ‘Uptown,’ home to banks,
hotels, museums and restaurants. The tiny, funky NoDa neighborhood (short for ‘North Davidson;’
www.noda.org), a collection of renovated textile mills 2 miles north of Uptown at N Davidson St and
36th, is the city’s bohemian refuge.
38.2 About Pfeiffer University

Slide into St Louis and sip on some Americana. Beer, bowling and baseball are some of the top
attractions, but history and culture also ride high. And, of course, there’s the iconic Gateway Arch that
you have seen in a million pictures; it’s even more impressive in person. Many music legends,
including the likes of Scott Joplin, Chuck Berry, Tina Turner and Miles Davis got their start here and
the bouncy live music venues keep the flame burning.
