I am currently a second‑year computer science student and want to apply for an exchange program for the second semester of my junior year, but I’m unclear about many details. I wonder if any experienced classmates could discuss this with me—issues like credit transfer, for example. Should I consult each course’s instructor? My university also has some separate 1‑credit and 0.5‑credit lab courses that can’t be transferred to foreign schools; how is this part handled? Thank you all for your replies.
Needed for course substitution
Can use credit recognition
Thank you for your reply
Senior, did you get accepted~ I’m also planning to apply for an exchange in my junior year; may I ask if a TOEFL or IELTS language score is strictly required?
XJTU doesn’t check it here; it depends on the other school’s requirements.
Yes, the exchange works like this: you first select a program within your own school, and only then are you eligible to apply. When you apply, check what the language requirements are at the host school and what scores you need to achieve. If the host school agrees (which generally they do), you can proceed. You can start by looking at the exchange programs that interest you and are offered every year, review the past language requirements, and start preparing, but there’s no need to rush.
