4. Where can you find the exchange agreements
Here you can find all the agreements, faculty and uni-wide. “intended for” indicates for which students this partner is open. If it says “all students (university-wide)” it means that it’s managed by International Relations Office. The rest indicates the relevant faculty/programme (graag hier goed uitleggen welke partner open is voor jouw studenten).
