What does ISEP mean in STUDENTS

International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) is an organization that provides students with the opportunity to study abroad at universities around the world. The goal of ISEP is to provide international educational experiences for students, promoting global understanding and cultural awareness.

Students enroll in a participating university through ISEP, either as part of a two-way exchange or as a visiting student. Students can choose from partner universities around the world, ensuring they can find an institution that meets their academic requirements and interests.

ISEP offers both degree-seeking and non-degree programs, in addition to short-term academic seminars and internships abroad. All programs are designed to give students an immersive learning experience in a foreign culture.

Applications can be submitted through ISEP's website or through participating universities' websites. You will need to submit all relevant documentation, including transcripts and any additional required forms. Once your application has been reviewed, you will be notified of acceptance within two weeks.
