On a case by case basis, subject to a bilateral exchange agreement, students registered in this Master’s programme have the possibility to spend a short study or research period at other institutions and may be able to integrate their academic credits earned into their academic curriculum at one of these partner institutions. Currently, bilateral exchange agreements exist with the Rheinische-Friedrich-Wilhelms Universität Bonn (UBonn) in Germany, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Sweden, the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC) in Milano, Italy, the Pontifica Universidad Catolica (PUC) in Chile, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Spain and, soon, the University of Alberta (UAlberta) in Canada.
If selected to the inter-university AFEPA programme, students generally spend one academic year at UCL and a second academic year at one of the main partner universities: UBonn, SLU and UCSC. On a case by case basis, subject to a bilateral exchange agreement, students can also earn a limited number of ECTS credits at associated partner universities: PUC, UPC and UAlberta (see www.afepa.eu).
