We currently have student exchange programmes with National University of Singapore (NUS) and CentraleSupelec Paris. Cambridge third year students spend a full year at these institutions, returning to Cambridge for their fourth year. Numbers are strictly limited: this year, three of our students are at CentraleSupelec and three at National University of Singapore. 

To introduce you to the process and to show you what is on offer, an exchange fair will be held.  Further details will follow.
