Apply as exchange student
On this page you can find information on how to apply for studies at Halmstad University if you are an exchange student coming to Halmstad University within an exchange agreement.
Application via two separate systems
All exchange students need to make two different online applications in two different systems. Students need to apply to our local application system Moveon but also through the national admission system University Admissions. Please note that the two applications must be completed before we will be able to process your application. All instructions can be find in below step-by-step guide.
Instructions on how to apply:
1. Choose your courses and plan your studies
Look through the exchange courses offered at Halmstad University. There is a dropdown list next to the syllabys that you need to look at, click on "show education info" and read the level and entry requirements carefully! Double check so that the courses are divided equally over the semester periods. You find the start week at the same place. Discuss your course selection with your home university and have them approved. This is important so that you can transfer the credits to your home university.
Please read the information about course selection carefully since it we cannot guarantee that you can change courses at a later stage. Try to keep your choice of courses within your study field or try to select packages that match. Please note that there is no add and drop period at Halmstad University.
2. Prepare your papers
Make sure to have all required documents ready to be uploaded. The coordinator at your home university needs to sign the confirmation of nomination which later needs to be uploaded online.
