Study Abroad with Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is a higher education program of the European Union that has been promoting cross-border mobilities of students, faculty, and staff in higher education in Europe since 1987. The 27 EU Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Northern Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, and Turkey participate in Erasmus+.

After completing your first year of study, you can receive funding through the Erasmus+ program for a period abroad of between two and twelve months at a host institution of higher education, up to and including your doctorate. To date, some two million students and nearly 200,000 faculty members across Europe have spent time abroad with this program.

The office hours for Erasmus+ consulting are available at the bottom of this page.

Whether you are planning to study or do an internship abroad, first-hand information is always useful when preparing for your trip. On the following pages, you will therefore have the opportunity to gather ideas for your stay abroad by reading students' testimonials. Information on your host country from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) are also helpful. The Buddy Program and Language Tandem are further opportunities to prepare for your own stay abroad or to expand your own language skills and intercultural knowledge.

Further information on the Erasmus+ program is also available on the websites of the European Commission and the National Agency for EU Higher Education Cooperation of the DAAD, which manages the Erasmus+ program in Germany.

Your rights and obligations as an Erasmus student are regulated by the EU in the "Erasmus+ Student Charter".
