UIC offers students opportunities to study in one of the overseas partner institutions for one semester during their four years (in general Y2 or Y3 depending on programme) study in UIC. Listed below are available seats for the AY2024/2025 Spring Semester. The IDO Semester Exchange & Study Abroad Programmes are voluntary programmes including tuition-waiver exchange seats and fee-paying seats.

Minimum English language requirement for overseas exchange and study abroad: IELTS 6.0 (RWSL no less than 5.5) or TOFEL79 (RWSL no lower than 19)

IDO will select qualified students based on their academic records, host school quota, TOEFL/IELTS score, participation in Extra Curricular Activities as well as reference letters, and submit the complete application materials to deans and AR for approval.

This fee is not refundable.
