Exchange place
Some winter/summer programs at Gifu-city partner universities may be available to students on an ‘exchange‘ basis. (*Please note that many partner universities do not offer short course enrolment on an ‘exchange’ basis, particularly in North America). If you are nominated for an exchange place, you will not pay tuition fees to the partner university; you will pay Gifu-city for the amount of credits you have been approved to take. (This will normally be 6 or 12 units of credit). You will be covered by Gifu-city travel insurance while overseas if approved for an exchange place.
Direct enrolment
With a ‘direct enrolment’, you will pay tuition fees directly to the overseas university. If you are approved for credit by your Faculty (through Cross-Institutional Study) before you depart for your short course you will be covered by Gifu-city travel insurance.
