How to plan your short-term stay
Plan well in advance! Contact the International Office to find out about the opportunities for participating in a summer/winter school or international excursion.
The advantages are
- Getting to know a foreign country & a different culture
- Short duration of stay (max. 6 weeks), ideal if a longer stay abroad is not possible
- Usually possible during the lecture-free period
- Often a combination of language and specialised courses
- Small groups - high learning effect
- Possibility of recognition (ECTS) at the German university
(please contact the examination board of your faculty in advance) - Deepening your own field of study/ insights into other subject areas
- Intercultural exchange of experience through a group of international students

Short-term stays for students
In addition to a semester abroad at one of our partner universities or an internship abroad, students also have the opportunity to attend a summer or winter school at a European or non-European university for a shorter period of time or to take part in an international excursion or a so-called blended intensive programme under the guidance of a professor.
