Specific language requirements: SMO requires only the English language certificate
for the exchange application. However, students are responsible for checking if the
universities they have selected require any further language certificates and to
submit these with their exchange application.

Selection process
After the deadline, applications will be evaluated based on satisfying minimum
requirements. Available exchange places are allocated on the basis of academic
achievement and preferences (the student with the highest grade average receives
first choice of exchange place). There are no guarantees that you will be allocated a
place at one of your preferred universities. Application results will be published in
the Mobility-Online portal by the end of January. Once an exchange place has been
allocated, it is binding.
Students not allocated an exchange place will receive information on available
exchange places, should any remain, and may select up to four additional priorities for the second selection round which will then take place. Students who
­indicated fewer than seven priorities and who are not allocated an exchange place
during the first selection round are not permitted to participate in the second

s­ election round. If you are not allocated a place at any of the your selected universities, application to Freemover or Swiss Mobility programmes is still possible.
