If you want to study abroad at a university that HHJ does not have co-operation with or doing internship, you usually have to organize it yourself, to go as a freemover. It also applies if you want to read something that can not be included in your degree at HHJ. Planning is A and O! If you choose to go as a freemover you have to find information, contact the university, pay tuition fee and other feesm, arrange financing and insurance as well as all other practical details by your own. You must always contact your study councellor at HHJ to discuss your studies.

This website, JU's study abroad website includes information about the process of exchange studies at our partner universities only!

Have you finished your courses and are you awaiting your degree certificate? Use this time to gain even more international experience. Recent graduates may apply to undertake an internship via Erasmus + programme. Application must be made via JU and should be made prior to the issuing of the student's degree. The entire internship period must be completed within 12 months of the date of graduation. A student who has obtained his / her degree may no longer apply for an internship.
