Exchange allocation for students who opt for MIMT (CEMS) will be processed and announced after the second phase of application. Applicants from the third or fourth phase of application will not have priority on exchange school selection, and exchange allocation will depend on the availability of exchange seats left after the first two phases. Besides, only applications with a complete set of application materials will be considered.
