Free Mover

• The same academic conditions apply to Free Mover exchanges
• For Bachelor students: if you have a minimum grade average of 4.2 at the end of your 2nd year, an exchange in the Spring Semester of the 3rd year is possible
• A Free Mover exchange is an exchange that takes place outside our formal exchange agreements
• You are responsible for handling all procedures with the chosen institution, including admission, semester fees, language requirements and housing
• If you are selected for an exchange under an agreement but decline the offered seat, you will not be eligible for a Free Mover exchange afterwards
• You may request a partial reduction in UNIL semester fees, please refer to the "Formulaire de demande de congé" (available below). Note that no mobility grants are available

Please follow these steps:

1. Select one (or more universities) for your Free Mover exchange, and check that they accept Free Mover students

• Many partner universities do not accept Free Movers

1. Prepare a Learning Agreement for each chosen institution
    
   • Generally, extension programs are not approved
   • Ensure that the courses you select match the level of your studies
2. Email your chosen universities and Learning Agreements at hec.outgoing@unil.ch within the specified deadline
3. Please allow 15 days for a reply from hec.outgoing@unil.ch
4. Once the project has been validated, contact the chosen university and send the acceptance letter to hec.outgoing@unil.ch
