Open calls and application process

You can submit an application for studies abroad as an exchange student in case there is a competition round open for the specific exchange program/cooperation agreement. The main period for the competitions for study abroad in the next academic year runs from January until May. Usually one competition lasts from 3 to 6 weeks and is followed by the decision made by the study abroad committee or the academic subunit within 2 weeks. Additional competition rounds for the spring semester - in case vacancies remain - are announced in September.

There are many destinations for studies abroad you can choose from, do not hesitate to apply!
