Inbound Mobility

Important Note

Students coming to FEP for undergraduate studies can come either in the Winter or Spring Semester; students coming to FEP for graduate or master studies should come in the Spring semester as there is a very limited number of places available in the Winter Semester and fewer master level courses. FEP does not send students to our partner schools for one academic year and to guarantee reciprocity of exchanges FEP accepts students for one semester only.
