Information on exchange registrations for 2021-2022

The registration deadline for outgoing exchanges to destinations in Europe and outside Europe passed on Tuesday 1 December 2020. We are pleased to note that despite uncertainties related to the health situation and the numerous exchange cancelations that we have received in recent months, our students continue to make plans for exchanges.

 

The figures below detail registrations for outgoing exchanges to destinations outside Switzerland. The deadline for outgoing exchanges within Switzerland is 1 March 2021. Numbers on incoming exchanges for the Autumn 2021 semester will also become available in the Spring.

 

Numbers for students who have registered for an exchange in Europe or outside Europe, regardless of the semester, are:
