Some universities have an agreement with foreign universities all around the world, especially the language departments. If you want to study Translation you are forced to spend a semester studying in any university where you can apply the language you have been learning, otherwise you won't be able to graduate with full certification. So yes, the university you're studying at provides the exchange and takes charge of it all.

So very true. Anyone who has studied Law at Harvard knows they won't have trouble finding a well-paid job later on.


everything is relative and contradictory ~
