If you are interested in spending a semester abroad, please first attend one of our general information events. We will provide information on studying abroad at one of our partner universities as well as on the application process, Erasmus+ grants for internships and further opportunities for studying abroad for example as a free mover or through a summer school. The dates and times of upcoming information events can be found here.
Office hours
Individual counselling on Erasmus+ funding for internships abroad is available during office hours or by prior appointment.
