university exchange

Studying abroad temporarily

A university exchange is a program allowing students to study at a partner institution, usually abroad, while remaining enrolled at their home university.

Credits earned during the exchange typically transfer back.

The term also describes the experience itself: She spent her junior year on university exchange in Tokyo.

Exchange students often pay tuition to their home institution while attending the host school.
