Nomination and application
You should have completed at least one year of studies (60 ECTS) at your home university before undertaking an exchange semester. PH Zug offers English speaking incoming students courses in the Bachelor programme Primary Education (ISCED 0113). In exceptional cases, we also accept Master’s students for an exchange semester in this Bachelor programme.
As a first step, your home university must nominate you for an exchange semester via the Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) network or by e‑mail to incoming@phzg.ch. After the nomination, you will receive a link to the online application form along with further instructions.
The next important step is selecting your courses and completing your Learning Agreement. For European partners, this will also work online via the website www.learning-agreement.eu.
