The instructions below are ONLY for students who wish to conduct research. If you instead wish to register in courses as part of a study exchange, you’ll need to follow the instructions for students interested in a course-based exchange. Please note that we cannot accept applications for students wishing to conduct research and take courses; you must choose one or the other.
