The COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on many scheduled exchanges in the academic year 2020-2021.

Exchanges for study are not possible in the second semester of the academic year 2020-2021 (there is an exemption for mobility in the context of joint-programmes and Erasmus Belgica).

Exchanges for (clinical) traineeships, fieldwork and research can only take place if certain conditions are met (permission from the faculty, no negative travel advice, no know restriction in your host country that seriously impede daily life, added value of physical presence at host institution). For these activities the covid-situation is assessed on a monthly basis and students are informed about the permission on the first Monday of the month prior to the month of departure.  Even if you receive a permission for your exchange period, this permission can be redrawn at any moment by actueel@ugent.be.
