Studying abroad is an extraordinary opportunity to broaden your horizons and enrich your academic journey. At ITS, we believe the experience extends far beyond earning study credits. You will collaborate with students from diverse nationalities, enhance your communication skills in a foreign language, and immerse yourself in a vibrant new culture.
ITS proudly offers a Student Exchange Program designed for Undergraduate and Master students.
Students from ITS partner universities may be eligible to study in Surabaya for one or two semesters without paying tuition fees. Eligibility depends on specific agreements between ITS and partner universities—please check with the ITS International Office for details. Additionally, under these reciprocal agreements, eligible students may receive free dormitory accommodation during their stay.
ITS accepts exchange student applications every semester.
To ensure timely processing, applications must be submitted at least three months before the semester starts.
While ITS does not offer financial support under the regular exchange program, we assist students in securing initial accommodations. Students from partner universities are given priority for housing at the University Guest House or Dormitory.

“I could say that ITS cared about us very well; we had some excellent classes, social programs, trips, and every time were in an excellent mood. Speaking about Indonesia, during our free time, I visited Lombok, Gili Islands, and Malang – Batu mountains, which always had friendly and calm vibes. Even if you are in one country, you have the opportunity to find so many different cultures, and this is precisely the thing that I love about this country. Thanks, ITS!”
