ISEP-exchange programme: study abroad worldwide

ISEP (International Student Exchange Programs) is a worldwide network of universities and colleges organising student exchanges. ISEP unites 300 universities all over the world; about half of them are in the US. The University of Tartu is the only institution of higher education in Estonia affiliated with ISEP.
More information about the network: ISEP.

ISEP-exchange competition is open to all Bachelor's and Master's level students of all specialties, although medical students' chances are quite limited (as many universities do not admit exchange students to medical studies programmes).
It is possible to apply for either one semester or full academic year.

Exchange students are guaranteed free tuition, accommodation in the dormitory and free meals or monthly allowance. All other expenses incl. travelling, visa and health insurance must be covered by the student. In addition, every student selected by the University of Tartu grant committee and whose documents are submitted to ISEP has to pay a non-refundable application fee of US $390 to ISEP.

Before applying you should check the list of universities open for application for the 2013/14 academic year.
