Becoming a partner institution
As partner of the International Network for Educational
Exchange universities create added value to their students' study curriculum,
increase cultural awareness and promote international cooperation.
To become a member and offer INEX programs to your students your institution
needs to follow some simple steps. The following information will guide
you through the process.
1. Registration Form
In favor of the students, their home institutions commit to give credit for
successful participation in courses at INEX programs. At the same time they
help to communicate new study opportunities to students. INEX on the other
side guarantees its academic standards and commits to outstanding organizational
performance. The Registration Form is required to guarantee correct data
and to insure direct communication. Also it gives information regarding accreditation,
study curriculum, academic calendar and international cooperation. Please
fill out the form and send it to the responsible regional INEX coordinator.

2. Receipt of information material
After a schedule for student communications has been
set, a package of informational material is sent to the new Sending
Institution. It usually consists of decorative posters, flyers, brochures
etc. Those materials are to be distributed to the different faculties
and posted in the most frequented areas of the institution to inform
students.

3. Info Stands and Info Sessions
New Sending Institutions will usually be visited by INEX
staff to provide first hand information to university representatives
and students. Those visits will be held in form of informational sessions
for interested students and university staff. A presentation of the
network and the different programs will be given with the opportunity
to ask all questions arising. Furthermore informational stands will
be located in the central areas of the campus in order to give students
the opportunity to direct their questions to experienced INEX associates
and receive a deeper insight into the programs.
4. Application Period
During the application period students are free to apply
for the various programs offered. Applications will be handed in at
the international office or directly sent to the INEX electronically.
They should consist of the application form, the personal curriculum
vitae and a motivational letter; all in English language. Also, students
can use the INEX online application form to submit their applications
directly.
5. Evaluation
At the end of every program students will get the chance
to evaluate the program they participated in. On a 15 page form they
will give their opinion on each and every program component, which leaves
open spaces for new ideas and improvements. The information and feedback
given will be shared with the Sending Institution in order to ensure
high academic and service standards.
6. Certificates and Accreditation
After participation in an INEX program participants receive
a grade transcript (and/or certificate) issued by INEX and the Receiving
Institution. Official grade transcripts will be sent from INEX to the
home university of the participating students and be picked up by them,
or sent to the students directly. The process of accreditation will
be fixed in advance with every new Sending Institution so that the procedure
can be as efficient as possible and credits can be transferred without
complications.
At this final point the cycle of an abroad term is completed.
Students profit from an unforgettable cultural and academic experience,
Sending Institutions profit from a wider range of international offers
and later on from the reputation of forming highly educated graduates
with an increased international awareness.
By fulfilling the tasks and requirements stated above,
the new Sending Institution ensures the functioning of this mutual agreement
and helps to receive an important contingent for their students to be
able to attend INEX programs.
