Europe

For a stay within Europe, you can choose between the following options:

  • Study with Erasmus+

Within the frame of Erasmus+ program, the European Commission promotes the student mobility in European countries outside of Germany. The following countries are participating in the Erasmus+ program: 27 EU countries, United Kingdom, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey, Iceland and Norway.

By providing a scholarship for the mobility of students, European Commission wants to support cultural exchange and to achieve further integration of Europe. Besides the financial support, partner universities do not charge tuition fees and Erasmus scholars receive academic acknowledgement/approval of their study achievements from the semester abroad

  • Internship with Erasmus+

The Erasmus+ program promotes also internships in European countries outside of Germany. Requirements are that the internship must be full-time with an explicit reference to your studies.

  • Freemover

Students, which do not stay at one of the partner universities of the department of EIT, are called Freemover. As a Freemover, you plan and organize your semester abroad or writing your thesis in a foreign country independently.

Rest of the world

For all, who want to go further away, there are the following possibilities:

  • DAAD-Scholarship

For a stay outside of Europe, a large variety of possibilities exists. The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers scholarships for students and provides normally a place to study abroad.

  • Freemover

As well as in Europe, students have the opportunity to organize a semester or a final thesis abroad independently.
