Freemover
Going abroad as a freemover means that you do not participate in an exchange programme at one of our partner universities but instead you arrange your semester abroad all by yourself.

You are not limited to the partner universities of Fontys, you can go to any university as long as your choice of courses is approved by the exam committee.
As a freemover you will be able to go to a country that is not listed amongst our partner database.
Cons of going abroad as a freemover
You will be responible for arranging your stay abroad, which means you will have to reserve more time for making all the necessary arrangements.
You will have to pay tuition fees at both Fontys and the university abroad.
