Nomination and Application Process for Exchange Students and Free-Movers
Nominations for exchange students may be done through this form. Free-movers/visiting students do not need to be nominated by their home universities. Upon acceptance, and in order to ensure a place at UTDT, free movers will have to secure their spot through the payment of a fee equivalent to the cost of one course. The information on how to make this payment will be sent in the acceptance package.
