Information Sessions about Studying Abroad

Are you interested in studying abroad?

The International Office is here to help you plan your study abroad. Visit our introductory sessions!

An absolute MUST: attend the session “Study Abroad Bascis” by the International Office! Or, if you are a Business or BA4 student, go to the introductory session of your school.
This session covers the basics: What is an exchange program? How do I apply ? What options to finance my stay do I have?
Recommended for: undergraduate students in the first or second semester, graduate students in their first semester, and everyone who is currently planning to go abroad.
For additional questions, please watch the videos about various specific topics afterwards. These videos cover topics such as detailed information on language tests, scholarships or state-to-state programs. Or you read up on these points on our website!

We are happy to help you!
