Step by step to a stay abroad
Special information for...
Spending a semester abroad was a wonderful experience. If I had the chance to choose again, I would pick Korea over and over again. It was extremely exciting to get to know a different way of thinking and meet so many new and interesting people. Finding like-minded people on the other side of the planet and learning from them – that's real cultural exchange, that is how you grow as a person.
I spent a semester abroad in Stockholm and can only encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to study abroad during their studies. It's very easy to meet people and make new friends from different parts of the world. You will also get to know the city, the country and the people a lot better than you would do as a tourist. Moreover, you suddenly appreciate things that you previously took for granted: In my case, it was natural light and short distances. Spending a semester abroad is also the perfect opportunity to travel around your host country. My personal highlight was a trip to Lapland.
I can highly recommend spending a semester abroad to all students as you can immerse yourself in a new world for a few months and not only evolve personally, but also get to know new cultures and expand your personal network through many new interesting contacts. The stay abroad also helped me academically and was an advantage when applying for the internship I completed afterwards. I had no problems with having my credits recognized in Mannheim, and the university staff were very helpful and committed throughout the entire process.
