Sibelius Academy’s exchange partner institutions
Which higher education institutions can you apply to as a student at the Sibelius Academy.
Exchange destinations in Europe
The list includes potential exchange destinations under the Erasmus programme and the Swiss-European Mobility Programme, although the Sibelius Academy does not currently have a valid exchange agreement with all the institutions on the list. The agreements will be renewed as necessary, and new exchange agreements can also be concluded with Erasmus/SEMP eligible music universities.
If you are interested in an institution that is not on this list, contact the international affairs office.
We are still exploring student exchange opportunities in some institutions in the United Kingdom. Agreements can be concluded when the funding possibilities are confirmed.

Sibelius Academy’s partner institutions outside Europe
The list below contains higher education institutions located outside Europe with which the Sibelius Academy has concluded a bilateral exchange agreement.
Each agreement includes a Tuition fee waiver clause, according to which the destination institution will not charge an annual tuition fee from the admitted student. New agreements can only be concluded after consideration and based on negotiations if broader collaboration between the universities is to be initiated. We cannot propose agreements with institutions outside Europe only for one student exchange.
