What is a freemover?
A freemover is a student who studies abroad by applying to a university directly, on their own — no exchange agreement or Erasmus spot required. You pay the host university directly and transfer the credits home. It is the route most students never hear about.
Tuition and requirements differ by university and change yearly — always confirm the exact details on each school's own admissions page (linked above).
