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.

What students say about their international short-term stay
Kajanni Winter School, Finland
"Overall, we recommend that anyone who is interested in intercultural exchange and is interested in an Erasmus stay should find out in advance whether short-term stays are also offered at the universities. We have made new friends from Slovenia and Latvia, who have already invited us to their summer school."
BayInd Summer School, India
"All in all, the summer school was an intensive 3 weeks. Due to the proximity of Kochi to Sri Lanka, I travelled on there after the summer school to do a little round trip. Other students travelled to Goa, for example, or went on a city trip to Mumbai."
