- be aware of the Erasmus application deadline and hand in your application
If you have questions, you are always welcome to see us during the office hours.
We urgently recommend to read the ERASMUS information of the International Office on the organisation of your ERASMUS stay, possibilities of preliminary EILC language courses etc. before your application.

- scholarships for one or two semesters
- The scholarship consists of exemption from tuition fees of the host university
- monthly allowance of about 490-600 €

When is the best time for "Going Out":
BA-Students:
- you can go abroad either for one Semester or for one full Academic Year (WS and SS)
- 3rd (WS) or 4th semester (SS): you can do language II and III in your 3rd year
- 5th (WS) or 6th semester (SS): you can do language II and language III in your 2nd year and write your BA thesis abroad
- BA-thesis abroad: You can write your BA-thesis at the partner university, still it will be supervised by a mentor from the IAAK. Please discuss all details with your mentor before your departure and stay in contact during your time abroad.
Master-Students:
- It is possible to study abroad as an MA student, too, but more complicated due to differing European degree systems. Please have a close look at the module catalogues and contact Dr. Meier if you are unsure if modules can be accredited!
