The course selection is the hardest part of your application, and something you should plan accordingly. Have this in mind:

  • Students nominated through/via a LUSEM exchange agreement are expected to take the majority of their courses at the School of Economics and Management.
  • Choose courses adding up to 30 ECTS per semester. Normally it means two courses in study period 1 and two courses in study period 2.
  • Courses at LUSEM are very popular and each course has a limited number of seats. Therefore you must always state two alternatives per course.
  • All courses should be approved by your home university before you submit your application.
