Selection for Study Abroad in 2024 (Academic Year 113)

Students can apply to study abroad as exchange students or pursue a dual degree at a partner institution for one semester or one academic year through an internal selection process. During the exchange period, students will pay the tuition and fees of the host institution according to the terms of the MOU between the two universities (with partial or full tuition waivers).

Students studying abroad for more than one semester may pay the accident insurance fee, and are exempt from paying tuition and fees at CGU, which can be used as a scholarship for studying abroad. However, students taking courses at CGU during the exchange period must pay the credit fees according to the relevant regulations.

Application Deadline

Students who wish to apply for the study abroad for the 113th academic year (for one semester or one academic year) must submit their application documents to the Office of International Affairs by the deadlines listed below. Failure to submit documents by the deadline will result in disqualification from the review process.
  • If you have not yet obtained your language proficiency, please indicate the expected receipt date on the application form.
  • Students should also be aware of potential conflicts between the spring semester start dates at the host institution and the final exam dates of our university’s fall semester.
