Period of Exchange

One semester exchange

  • Students who wish to extend their exchange must first consult with the KUBS International Affairs Team after being selected.

    (Extensions are allowed for one additional semester only, with the total exchange period capped at one year.)

  • A one-year exchange cannot be approved in advance, but students may inquire about the possibility of an extension.
  • Extensions are permitted only if the student receives an official confirmation from the office.

    * Extensions are allowed only if they do not affect the partner university’s exchange quota (TO) for the following semester. If a student is informed that an extension would impact the quota, the extension will be denied, and the student must reapply to KUBS SEP separately.

  • Graduate students are not eligible for exchange extensions.
