INBOUND STUDENT EXCHANGE (for international students) 

Students from international institutions can spend a few weeks to a year to study at the University of Seychelles. There are two options: 

a) If UniSey is a partner with their home institution:

• pay their tuition fees and other fees to their home institution

• Ensure study modules are approved jointly by UniSey and their home institution (for credit transfer purposes). 

This is subject to the agreement with the home institution. 

b) If UniSey is not a partner with their home institution: 

• continue as full-time students

• pay their tuition fees and other fees to UniSey, 

• Pay any other fees to home institution (subject to the home institution) 

• Ensure study modules are approved jointly by UniSey and their home institution (for credit transfer purposes). 

Students interested must complete the Student Exchange/Study Abroad form (form to be reviewed), which further specifies all other requirements. The form should be submitted at least 3 months before the proposed start date.
