A study period abroad is an integral part of the curriculum at HEAD – Genève. It is an opportunity to discover a different educational context, expand one’s professional network, deepen an artistic practice in a new environment, and gain independence. ECTS credits earned at the partner school are recognized in the HEAD program.

Mobility is open to all HEAD students who have already completed at least one year of study. Preparation begins about 8 to 10 months before departure: identifying the partner school, making contact, obtaining academic approval from the program, preparing the grant application, completing administrative procedures, and finding housing on site.

Key steps:

• annual information session organized by the International Relations Office,
• submission of exchange preferences according to the schedule below,
• nomination by HEAD to the partner school,
• online application to the partner school,
• study agreement (Learning Agreement) signed before departure.
