Application Details
Selection of exchange students conducted biannually
Selection of students for the exchange programme is conducted biannually. Students can now apply for SEP in the October/November application period for semester 1 or 2 of the following academic year, or in the May/June application period for semester 2 of the following academic year.
Please read the instructions carefully before proceeding to apply for SEP.
If you are a scholarship holder, please submit the letter of approval form for the awarding organisation. This should be submitted to the Undergraduate Studies Office.
USP students on overseas exchange may substitute up to one First-Tier module and one Advanced Curriculum module with USP’s approval. Please consult this link for details.
Please note that the Global Relations Office (GRO) facilitates by structuring preparatory programmes for some languages. The Language Preparation Programme (LPP) for some European countries, for example, may help but is not necessary for most SEP cases.
Students in BBA(ACC) need to be mindful of certain restrictions. Double Degree Programme students have their own particular concern.
