Documentation requirements for exchange students

Both the nominator and the student can submit documentation in the application. It is up to the nominator to decide who should upload relevant documentation.  It is important that all required documentation is uploaded within the application deadline.

Please upload documents in PDF or JPG format and name the documents so we understand what they contain.

Necessary documentation

Erasmus+ students

Students unable to assess OLA may upload a HiØ’s paper version of the Learning Agreement or your home university’s version in your application.

  • Erasmus+ Learning Agreement for traineeship (completed in word, printed and then signed and stamped by the student and home institution) Students may also use the standard Erasmus+ form from their home institution. 
  • Copy of passport (photo ID page only) or National ID card (EU/EEA- students)

HiØ will sign the Learning Agreement and return it to the student when the application is processed.  If you want to make changes to your already approved Learning Agreement, you may do this after arrival in the section called "During mobility".

Bilateral students

  • Official Transcripts of Record of higher education in English (or in original language with a translated copy)
  • Application form (signed and stamped by the student and home institution)
  • Documentation of English language skills (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Cambridge or other documentation. Does not apply for native speakers)
  • Copy of passport (photo ID page only)
