Australian-European Network (AEN)

Student exchange with universities belonging to the AEN network are carried out under the Utrecht Network. The AEN (Australian-European Network) unites five universities in Australia: Edith Cowan University in Perth, Griffith University in Queensland, Western Sydney University in Sydney, University of Tasmania and University of Wollongong.

Scholarship
Exchange students are guaranteed free tuition at a foreign university. 

Expenses for accommodation, food, travel, visa and study materials must be covered by the student.

Application process

Medical students and PhD students are exempt from the exchange program. When selecting a university, it is important to make sure which programmes are offered - some universities may have restrictions. Further information is available on the AEN website.

It is possible to apply for one or two semesters: from July to November and/or from February to June. When applying, students must submit a list of three preferred universities; and later successful applicants will be placed in one of the preferred universities by the respective committee of the Utrecht Network.

NB! When applying to AEN-network, it is not possible to apply to MAUI-network in the same year.

UT competition: through SoleMOVE application system.

The primary decision on selecting students is made by the University of Tartu grant committee. The student exchange coordinator forwards information of the selected students to the AEN committee, who will then place the students in host universities. Next, students need to send their documents to the respective host universities, who makes a final decision on the admission of the student.

As the process as a whole is quite time consuming, students applying should bear in mind that final decisions may be made as late as April or May.

Required application documents (in English):
- List of three preferred universities;
- Statement of purpose (letter of motivation);
- Letter of recommendation from a supervisor or professor at UT;
- Transcript of records (with average grade, in English; ask from your dean's office/institute);
