Exchange programmes
St. Estè maintains formal exchange agreements with thirty-one partner institutions across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Students in their second or third year may spend a term or a full academic year abroad with credit transferred in full. Incoming exchange students are placed within a home school and receive the same supervision, library rights and residential provision as matriculated students.
Applications open each August through the Office of International Affairs. A standing of 3.4 or above and an endorsed statement of academic purpose are required.
Transfer admission
Candidates who have completed at least one full year at an accredited university may apply to transfer into the second or third year of a St. Estè programme. Transfer places are limited and awarded on the strength of prior academic record, the fit of completed coursework and a written assessment set by the receiving school.
Credit is evaluated course by course by the Registrar. A minimum of two years must be completed in residence for a St. Estè degree to be conferred.
