Exchange Universities
Exchange agreements are updated or introduced periodically and this page will be updated accordingly. This page lists current Exchange opportunities. See the UVA Programs page for a list of UVA and UVA partner programs. Use the Program Search to search all approved programs.
UVA currently has exchange agreements with over 50 universities around the world. Participating in an academic exchange allows student to enroll in courses at the host institution, typically alongside local students, offering a high level of immersion. Interested students will first apply to the International Studies Office by the stated deadline. If selected, applicants will next apply directly to the host university. Admitted students continue to pay regular tuition and fees to UVA; students make arrangements through the host or independently for housing, transportation and other expenses. In any given semester, participants may be the only, or one of only a few, UVA students participating in a particular exchange. Given the unique nature of the application process, and variations by institution in procedures for making housing arrangements, enrolling in courses, applying for visas, and more, students interested in an exchange are required to meet with an Education Abroad Advisor during the application process.
Exchange availability is subject to change; please check individual exchanges pages, linked below, for updates. Exchanges are available for semester or year.
