Application procedure

Great that you have made your choice for our university!

Before you apply it is necessary to prepare yourself carefully using the information below.

More information about how to select courses can be found here.

The online application consists of:

  1. An online application form.
  2. An official transcript of records (upload). Do not forget to mention the subjects not listed on your transcipt of recrods. These can be subjects you are currently doing or are going to do in the time before your exchange period at Wageningen University starts.
  3. A proof of English proficiency, if applicable (upload).
  4. Passport or Identity Card.
    EU students: a passport or European ID must be valid at the moment of registration (No driver licences are accepted).
    NON EU students: only passport and must be still valid 6 months after registration.

After your application has been submitted your Exchange Coordinator will contact you to discuss your course selection. Once the course selection has been approved, you will receive a Learning Agreement. In June (for period 1 and 2) or November (for the remaining periods), an accpetance letter and further instuctions will be sent.

Note that we receive many applications at the same time. It can take some time before you get feedback. Because of visa regulations, students with a non-EU/EFTA nationality wil be contacted first.

Extension

Thinking about extending your stay in Wageningen as an exchange student? In some cases this is possible. Below you will find the possibilities, requirements and procedure.

Extending your semester exchange within either semester 1 or semester 2

  • Extension is possible for courses ONLY (not for MSc thesis)
  • Extension is only possible within one semester, where semester 1 includes periods 1-3 and semester 2 includes periods 4-6
  • The approval of an extension is done by the WU Exchange Coordinators and depends on permission (per e-mail) from the home university
  • Indicate (by email: incoming.exchange@wur.nl) that you would like to extend your exchange. Deadline: 1st December (for semester 1) / 1st April (for semester 2)
  • After you have been granted permission for extending your stay, you will need to arrange a fully signed Changed Learning Agreement. Your WU Exchange Coordinator can then extend your registration at SSC.
