Contact with your partner school

After receiving your application to study, the host university should contact you to give you up to date information and discuss with various issues (changes to the curriculum, accommodation, getting there etc.). After their decision, you should get the official confirmation of acceptance for studies (Letter of Acceptance), which they should send you together with the completed study plan.

Only then should you begin to handle the other formalities e.g. health insurance, finance etc.

Accommodation + Orientation week

Submit an accommodation form in a time according to the instructions of the host university. You can find it on their website or you will get it together with the admission letter. In some universities, it is necessary to book accommodation well in advance. Some universities (Spain, Italy) do not have dormitories or accommodation provided by the University is too expensive, so the students arrange accommodation themselves.
