If your institution has an exchange agreement with us, you can come to TIU as an international exchange student. You'll study alongside our degree students for one or two semesters, with full access to campus facilities and student life.
Visiting student programme
If your university does not have an exchange agreement, you can still apply directly to TIU as an international visiting student. Choose from a range of modules across our faculties and earn credits that transfer back to your home institution.
