EXCHANGE
Design Academy Eindhoven has a specific selection procedure for exchange students. We have three reasons for this selection procedure: Design Academy Eindhoven has a different structure than most design academies and universities (Man and Activity, Man and Communication, etc.). DAE has a main focus on conceptual design; DAE usually receives more applications than places are available. The academy has a long tradition of accepting exchange students and boasts many bilateral agreements with design academies and universities all over the world. Experience has taught us the importance of finding the best match between student and academy / design department. To do so, our selection is based on the candidate’s portfolio. The portfolio has to be sent in for review, together with a motivation letter and an application form. (Please bear in mind that no digital portfolios are accepted!) There are two deadlines (November 1st and June 1st). Procedures start immediately after these dates. Within three weeks after, we will let you know whether you have been selected for an exchange semester. We will place you in the department that best matches your work and your preference. It is not possible to change departments, since the number of available places is limited. Exchange is possible for a maximum of one semester and only at bachelor level. (Are you a master student? Please feel free to apply, but you will be placed in the bachelor course.)
Please take into account you may need a visa during your stay in the Netherlands. Design Academy Eindhoven does not offer any kind of scholarship for exchange. EU students can contact the international department of their own academy to ask if Erasmus scholarships are available. If your exchange application is accepted and an Erasmus scholarship is needed, this is only possible on the basis of a bilateral agreement with your home university. The international officer of your home university will have to contact Design Academy Eindhoven if such an agreement has not yet been established.

Please check http://studielink.designacademy. nl/English/Exchange/tabid/1022/Default.aspx Design Academy Eindhoven kent een lange traditie van uitwisselingen met buitenlandse studenten. Het betreft hier geen een-op-een uitwisselingen; voor iedere student die gedurende zijn/haar studie aan Design Academy Eindhoven op uitwisseling wil, onderzoeken we de individuele mogelijkheden. Design Academy Eindhoven ontvangt ook elk semester 10 tot 15 uitwisselingsstudenten. Bovenstaande Engelse tekst is bestemd voor wie uit het buitenland komt en overweegt om toelating te doen voor een uitwisseling. Aangezien DAE met vrijwel al deze studenten in het Engels communiceert, is bovenstaande tekst niet in het Nederlands in deze brochure opgenomen.
