All students regularly enrolled at HSBI can apply for exchange places at the partner universities of their respective faculties as well as for university-wide collaborations from the first semester onwards.
Students from Bielefeld School of Business can hand in their transcript of records and language certificates later (by 28 February at the latest). The only exception is the University of Alberta (see below).
Students of all faculties must submit their complete applications for the partner university University of Alberta (including transcript of records and language certificate) by 31 January. Only applications that specify the University of Alberta as first choice can be considered.
Up to three favourite universities can be specified in the application.
Please see the PDF documents in the download box for the exchange places advertised at our partner universities from late November (for the winter semester) and from early May (for the summer semester) onwards.
A general overview of our partner universities can be found on the website.

Note on language skills: As a rule, knowledge of the language of instruction at least at B1 level of the CEFR is recommended. A few universities, especially in English-speaking countries, explicitly require a certain level of language proficiency (e.g. C1 at MacEwan University) or a certain proof of language skills (e.g. Teesside University, University of Alberta for master’s students). Please find further information on this in the PDF documents in the download box with the exchange places.
A selection committee, consisting of representatives of the faculties and the International Office, assesses the applications according to:
If we are unable to allocate an exchange place at one of your top three universities, the International Office will contact you to discuss alternative exchange places.
Following the selection, the International Office will forward the applications to the partner universities who make the final decision on admission.
For the winter semester
The selection procedure takes place in February, so that applicants receive feedback about their application around mid-February; except in Bielefeld School of Business, where feedback takes place in mid-March.
For the summer semester
The selection procedure takes place in July, so that applicants receive feedback about their application around mid-July.
