  • We welcome you as an exchange student 

    We work in close cooperation with your home universities. This collaboration is to ensure that each course you complete successfully at VIA University College is eligible for credit at your home university.

    Requirements

    Students who have completed 2 years = 120 ECTS of study at their home university may attend the exchange programme at the Department of Architectural Technology and Construction Management. 

    Documentation of your current English language level

    If English is not your first language, you will need to provide documentation of your English language level. VIA University College requires that you have an English level of B2 or higher (certificate is required), as you must be able to understand spoken English when following courses and be able to write assignments and reports in English.

    As documentation, we accept confirmation of a B2 level from your home institution or one of the following internationally recognised language tests: TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS or the Cambridge ESOL test. For more information, please see:

    English proficiency requirements

  • Your home institution must have an inter-institutional agreement with the Department of Built Environment at VIA University College in order for you to be able to apply for this exchange programme at VIA.

  • Exchange students do not pay tuition fees.

    Per definition, exchange stays are an exchange of one or more students between partner universities and therefore, exchange students do not pay tuition fees.

    If you do not know, if your institution is a partner of VIA, please contact the international office at your home institution. If your institution is not a partner of VIA and you would like us to discuss the possibility of establishing an exchange agreement with your home institution, please contact us at partnerships@via.dk.
