Minor Field Studies (MFS)

It targets university and college students who have international interests and who wish to gather material for an undergraduate or postgraduate dissertation.
Bilateral agreements with partner universities
University West has so called bilateral cooperation agreements with several universities in China, Australia, South America and the Unites States. The agreement implies that students either don't have to pay the tuition fee at all or are granted a reduced tuition fee.
ISEP
University West is the member of a network called ISEP - International Student Exchange Program. Over 300 universities all over the world are members in this network. For University West, the membership in this network thus enlarges the number of partner universities, especially in the United States.
