The Semester Exchange
During the 4 to 6 months semester of study abroad, the student remains enrolled at the UNC and is exempt from tuition fees in the host university. The student takes their exams in situ. If they are not eligible for a degree in the host university, their grades and credits are transferred to the bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral (LMD) system upon their return to New Caledonia. A semester validated abroad is equal to one semester at the UNC.
This type of mobility is only open to students from their second year of a bachelor’s degree.
