Do you know what an exchange program is?


Exchange Programs
A student exchange program generally could be defined as a program where students from one university choose to study abroad in partnered institutions. Most programs expect the prospective exchange student to demonstrate some ability to speak the language of the country they choose. The participants can either apply for a scholarship or be self-funded. An exchange student can live in a hostel, affordable apartment/house or student lodge. An exchange student typically stays in the host country for a relatively short period of time, often 6 to 10 months.
Student exchanges became popular after World War II, and have the aim of helping to increase the participants’ understanding and tolerance of other cultures, as well as language skills and broaden their social horizons. Objectives of study visits can be described as follows: enable students to experience international education; strengthen the ties between students and universities; broaden personal and educational perspectives; explore, appreciate and understand different cultures; enhance the ability of the student in second language learning; eliminate fear and prejudice among nations.


One can find advertisements about exchange programmes, research visits on the Internet, in newspapers; relevant information can also be provided by research departments of the institutions concerned. Study some of such ads and comment on them.
