CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS: 17th August (FOR

Introduction: Rodent’s Abroad

General Information Regarding the Student Exchange Programmes Rhodes offers a number of exciting student exchange programmes. All applications for these exchange

programmes will be screened by a selection committee and final acceptance is conditional upon the

host institutions selection and Rhodes Faculty approval.

What is an exchange programme? Rhodes students participating in an exchange programme will attend an overseas institution for an

academic semester. As some of the semester dates differ abroad, students will be exempt from

attending Rhodes for the full equivalent semester, i.e. February to June or July to November, and may

make use of the different time frames to travel while abroad.

Rhodes students will have exchange student status at the host institutions and may take courses for

transfer credit at Rhodes University, but will not be eligible for a degree from the host institution.

Rhodes students will continue as candidates for their degrees at Rhodes.

Choosing a Destination: Two things should determine your choice of destination:

1. Course content and credits – during an exchange programme, you must attain credits for

subjects that you are taking at Rhodes. It is imperative that you take courses abroad that are

approved by the relevant Heads of Department at Rhodes. Some destinations are only viable

for students taking certain subjects (e.g. Commerce Students) and some degrees (LLB) and

subjects (Law) have strict limitations on where you go. Be sure to consult with your Head(s)

of Department when deciding where to go. In certain cases, the International Office will advise

you against going on exchange if it will negatively impact on your study path.

2. Financial implications – all exchange programmes cost extra, but some cost more than others.

Be sure that you know what expenses you will be expected to cover when going on exchange.

If you are uncertain, visit the Universities’ websites and talk to the International officer at

Rhodes.

Applying for an exchange: Please note that the relevant information regarding courses on offer, as well as general information

about the institutions, is available from each institution's website. It is the student's responsibility to

review this information before applying for the exchange programme to ensure that there are suitable

courses available.

Students are invited to apply and must submit their application form along with their curriculum vitae,

a personal motivation letter, an up-to-date course record and two academic references to the

International Office at Rhodes University by the deadline specified on the front page of this booklet.

The Selection Committee then meets to shortlist students. Students on the shortlist are invited to be

interviewed by the Selection Committee; thereafter final selection is made by Rhodes. The successful

students will then apply to the various host institutions via the Rhodes International Office. Please

note that academic acceptance by the host institution is not automatic.

Before embarking on an exchange, Rhodes students must have obtained approval from the

appropriate Head of Department and the Dean of the Faculty at Rhodes for the inclusion of the

proposed transfer credit from the host institution in their Rhodes University degree structure. The

onus is on you, the student, to ensure that the HOD has approved the courses. This approval must

be facilitated through the International Office. Rhodes students are required to spend one semester

at the host institution.

APPLICATION FORMS CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM OUR INTERNATIONAL

OFFICE WEBSITE: http://www.ru.ac.za/internationalisation/. Please submit your application form to the International

Office along with all the supporting documentation.

Financial Implications Students participating in exchange programmes usually spend in the region of R35 000, including

travel costs, but excluding tuition and accommodation expenses. However, please note that some of

the programmes have already made provision for financial assistance and the International Office is

able to assist in some cases. Please be aware that payment of all fees is due by the dates indicated in

the Rhodes Fees Booklet sent out to you at the beginning of each year.

Financial Support Some partner universities in countries such as the UK, Germany and the USA have access to funding

assistance for students going on exchange. Please note that it is very rare that students will get all

expenses covered.

Enquiries Please feel free to come and speak to us at the International Office between 14h00-16h00 on Monday

to Friday. Tel: 046 603 8225 or email [email protected].

Zimbabwe Midlands’s State University

Gweru



Semester dates: Semester 1: February – June Semester 2: August – November

Type of exchange: Tuition and Accommodation Exchange Brief Institutional Overview: The idea of a University in the Midlands

dates back to the foundation of the

National University of Science and

Technology when Gweru, which was

identified as a possible site for a second

University campus in the country, lost its

bid to Bulawayo.

In 1998 Gweru Teachers College started

to enroll students studying for the

Bachelor of Commerce with Education and the Bachelor of Science with Education degrees offered by

the University of Zimbabwe.

The Minister of Higher Education and Technology transformed the devolution project at Gweru into

Zimbabwe's third state University by means of the State University in the Midlands Act of April 1999.

The new university, whose name was later changed to the Midlands State University, was to be housed

at the Gweru Teachers College premises.

Canada University of Windsor

Windsor, Ontario




Type of exchange: Tuition Exchange

B Brief Institution Overview:

The University of Windsor is located

at the crossroads of North America,

15 minutes from the start of Highway

401 or Michigan’s I-75, and facing one

of Canada’s most beautiful

waterfronts on the Detroit River. That

location speaks to UWindsor’s

greatness as an internationally

oriented, multi-disciplined institution

that actively encourages a broad

diversity of students, faculty and staff. Those strengths vault it to the forefront of Canadian

Universities in the creation of an awareness and appreciation of difference — difference in ethnic

backgrounds, difference in cultures and difference in dreams.

From that diversity, the University fosters an atmosphere of close cooperation between faculty and

students, creating a unifying atmosphere of excellence across all of its faculties to encourage lifelong

learning, teaching, research and discovery.

Its basic characteristics of openness, warmth and support make the University of Windsor an

exceptionally welcoming community for students and faculty from Asia, Europe, and Africa — or from

just down the street.

Germany Hochschule Osnabrück – University

of Applied Sciences Osnabrück

Eligibility: Commerce students entering third year or Honours level


Semester dates: Semester 1: September – February Semester 2: March – July

Type of exchange: Tuition and partial Accommodation Exchange


Hochschule Osnabrück, like most other Universities of Applied

Sciences in Germany, was founded in 1971 and thus represents

a relatively young type of institution in the field of higher

education. By now, however, more than 35 % of all graduates

in Germany come from this kind of university.

What primarily attracts students to Universities of Applied Sciences is a shorter route to their later

profession. Studies at Universities of Applied Sciences are highly practice-oriented. A tight

organisation of degree programmes, teaching in small groups, examinations throughout the students'

studies and a choice of subjects that is oriented towards the needs of professional practice, facilitate

shorter average study periods compared to those which are normally required at traditional

Universities. Furthermore, academic or scientific research at Universities of Applied Sciences is also

geared towards practical requirements.

Its history, however, dates back to 1913, the year in which the Netherlands School of Commerce (Nederlandsche Handels-Hoogeschool or NHH) was founded through private initiative with broad support from the Rotterdam business community. The statutory recognition of higher education in commerce and economics as an academic discipline resulted in 1939 in a change of name. The NHH became the NEH or Netherlands School of Economics (Nederlandse Economische Hogeschool). The growing complexity of society led in the 1960s to the arrival of the faculties of Law and Social Sciences, followed in later decades by Philosophy, History and Arts, and Business Administration.
