Want to study abroad? Go to Bali or Lombok in Indonesia, Seoul in Korea, Osaka in Japan, Guangzhou and Shanghai in China, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, and Bangkok and Phuket in Thailand through Asia Exchange! Asia is by far the most populous continent in the world. Its economic, political and cultural importance is growing rapidly and the influence of Asia is only going to increase in the future. Studying abroad in Asia will provide you with more chances for success both at present and in the future.
Asia Exchange aims at providing our students with as comprehensive of a course selection as possible. If you cannot find your study program on the list, we encourage you to consider whether multidisciplinary studies abroad could suit your overall degree at home, i.e. studying subjects which are not necessarily a part of a student’s major. For example, business or cultural studies are useful in both professional and personal life, regardless of one’s major, and can be added to a degree as electives or minors.
Through Asia Exchange you can apply for an exchange at one of our partner universities:
Bali, Indonesia: Udayana University Bali, Indonesia, Warmadewa University Lombok, Indonesia: Mataram University Bangkok, Thailand: Kasetsart University Bangkok, Thailand: Siam University Phuket, Thailand: Prince of Songkla University Guangzhou, China: Guangzhou University Shanghai, China: Shanghai University Seoul, South Korea: Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Universiti Putra Malaysia
The application is now opened for Autumn 2017 semester.
