Introduction:RhodentsAbroad
GeneralInformationRegardingtheStudentExchangeProgrammesRhodes offers a number of exciting student exchange programmes. All applications for these
exchange programmes will be screened by a selection committee and final acceptance is conditional
upon host institution selection and Rhodes Faculty approval.
Whatisanexchangeprogramme?Rhodes students participating in an exchange programme will attend an overseas institution for an
academic semester. As some of the semester dates differ abroad, students will be exempt from
attending Rhodes for the full equivalent semester, i.e. February to June or July to November, and
may make use of the different time frames to travel while abroad.
Rhodes students will have exchange student status at the host institutions and may take courses for
transfer credit at Rhodes University, but will not be eligible for a degree from the host institution.
Rhodes students will continue as candidates for their degrees at Rhodes.
ChoosingaDestinationTwo things should determine your choice of destination:
1. Course content and credits – during an exchange programme, you must attain credits for
subjects that you are taking at Rhodes. It is imperative that you take courses abroad that are
approved by the relevant Heads of Department at Rhodes. Some destinations are only
viable for students taking certain subjects (e.g. Commerce Students) and some degrees
(LLB) and subjects (Law) have strict limitations on where you go. Be sure to consult with
your Head(s) of Department when deciding where to go. In certain cases, the International
Office will advise you against going on exchange if it will negatively impact on your study
path.
2. Financial implications – all exchange programmes cost extra, but some cost more than
others. Be sure that you know what expenses you will be expected to cover when going on
exchange. If you are uncertain, visit the universities’ websites and talk to the international
officer at Rhodes.
ApplyingforanexchangePlease note that the relevant information regarding courses on offer, as well as general information about the institutions, is available from each institution's website. It is the student's responsibility to review this information before applying for the exchange programme to ensure that there are suitable courses available.
Students are invited to apply and must submit their application form along with their curriculum
vitae, a personal motivation letter and an up‐to‐date course record, to the International Office at
Rhodes University by the deadline specified on the front page of this booklet. The Selection
Committee then meets to shortlist students. Students on the shortlist are invited to be interviewed
by the Selection Committee; thereafter final selection is made by Rhodes. The successful students
will then apply to the various host institutions via the Rhodes International Office. Please note that
academic acceptance by the host institution is not automatic.
Before embarking on an exchange, Rhodes students must have obtained approval from the
appropriate Head of Department and the Dean of the Faculty at Rhodes for the inclusion of the
proposed transfer credit from the host institution in their Rhodes University degree structure. The
onus is on you, the student, to ensure that the HOD has approved the courses. This approval must
be facilitated through the International Office. Rhodes students are required to spend one semester
at the host institution.
APPLICATIONFORMSCANBEDOWNLOADEDFROMOUR INTERNATIONALOFFICEWEBSITE:http://www.ru.ac.za/international/rhodents/. Please submit these to the International Office along
with all the supporting documentation.
FinancialImplicationsStudents participating in exchange programmes usually spend in the region of R35 000, including
travel costs, but excluding tuition and accommodation expenses. However, please note that some of
the programmes have already made provision for financial assistance and the International Office is
able to assist in some cases. Please be aware that payment of all fees is due by the dates indicated in
the Rhodes Fees Booklet sent out to you at the beginning of each year.
FinancialSupportSome partner universities in countries such as the UK, Germany and the USA have access to funding
assistance for students going on exchange. Please note that it is very rare that students will get all
expenses covered.
EnquiriesPlease feel free to come and speak to us at the International Office between 14h00‐16h00 on
Monday to Friday. Tel: 046 603 8225 or email internationaloffice@ru.ac.za.

Semesterdates: Semester1:February–JuneSemester2:August–November
Typeofexchange: TuitionandAccommodationExchangeBriefInstitutionalOverview:The idea of a University in the Midlands
dates back to the foundation of the
National University of Science and
Technology when Gweru, which was
identified as a possible site for a second
University campus in the country, lost
its bid to Bulawayo.
In 1998 Gweru Teachers College started
to enroll students studying for the
Bachelor of Commerce with Education and the Bachelor of Science with Education degrees offered
by the University of Zimbabwe.
The Minister of Higher Education and Technology transformed the devolution project at Gweru into
Zimbabwe's third state University by means of the State University in the Midlands Act of April 1999.
The new university, whose name was later changed to the Midlands State University, was to be
housed at the Gweru Teachers College premises. This exchange is purely a Law exchange.

North America, 15 minutes from the start of Highway 401 or
Michigan’s I-75, and facing one of Canada’s most beautiful

UWindsor’s greatness as an internationally oriented, multi-
disciplined institution that actively encourages a broad
diversity of students, faculty and staff. Those strengths
vault it to the forefront of Canadian universities in the
creation of an awareness and appreciation of difference —
difference in ethnic backgrounds, difference in cultures and
difference in dreams.
From that diversity, the University fosters an atmosphere of
close cooperation between faculty and students, creating a
unifying atmosphere of excellence across all of its faculties
to encourage lifelong learning, teaching, research and discovery.
Its basic characteristics of openness, warmth and support make the University of Windsor an exceptionally
welcoming community for students and faculty from Asia, Europe, and Africa — or from just down the

Semesterdates: Semester1:September–February Semester2:March–July Typeofexchange: TuitionandpartialAccommodationExchange
BriefInstitutionOverview:
Hochschule Osnabrück, like most other Universities of
Applied Sciences in Germany, was founded in 1971 and thus
represents a relatively young type of institution in the field of
higher education. By now, however, more than 35 % of all
graduates in Germany come from this kind of university.
What primarily attracts students to Universities of Applied Sciences is a shorter route to their later
profession. Studies at Universities of Applied Sciences are highly practice‐oriented. A tight
organisation of degree programmes, teaching in small groups, examinations throughout the
students' studies and a choice of subjects that is oriented towards the needs of professional
practice, facilitate shorter average study periods compared to those which are normally required at
traditional universities. Furthermore, academic or scientific research at Universities of Applied
Sciences is also geared towards practical requirements.

Erasmus University Rotterdam has existed in its present form since 1973. Its history, however, dates back to 1913, the year in which the Netherlands School of Commerce (Nederlandsche Handels‐Hoogeschool or NHH) was founded through private initiative with broad support from the Rotterdam business community. The statutory recognition of higher education in commerce and economics as an academic discipline resulted in 1939 in a change of name. The NHH became the NEH or Netherlands School of Economics (Nederlandse Economische Hogeschool). The growing complexity of society led in the 1960s to the arrival of the faculties of Law and Social Sciences, followed in later decades by Philosophy, History and Arts, and Business Administration.
