Denmark

VIA School of Business, Technology & Creative Industries

"To summarise, this semester abroad turned out to be one of the most extraordinary and exciting semesters of my student career to date."

SS 2020: BA IWI

Finland

Novia University of Applied Sciences, Turku

"The city of Turku, or Åbo in Swedish, is located on the south-west coast of Finland with direct access to the Baltic Sea and the Finnish archipelago, also known as the Archipelago Sea, a collection of many small offshore islands in the Baltic Sea between the south-west coast of Finland and the east coast of Sweden."

WS 2019/20: BA IB

Great Britain

Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland

"My time in Scotland was a unique and truly wonderful experience. It is a priceless experience to call a foreign city in a foreign country with a foreign language your home for nine months."

^{_{WS 2018/19: BA IB}}

University of South Wales, Wales

"In general, the atmosphere in the lectures is rather informal and students are strictly integrated into the teaching process, which means that contributing opinions and working in groups during lectures is the order of the day."

WS 2018/19: BA IB

Ireland

Griffith College Dublin

"Leopold Bloom's proverb "Good puzzle would be cross Dublin without passin a pub" describes it quite aptly, because almost no week goes by without going to the pub in the evening and meeting up with friends."

WS 2018/19: BA IB

NUI Galway

"There's hardly a hobby or sport you can't pursue there. From the astronomy club to the rugby team or the sports on offer at Kings Fisher (on-campus gym), there really should be something for everyone."

Latvia

University of Latvia

"I can only recommend a semester abroad to anyone thinking of doing so. The Baltic States and Riga in particular are excellent places to do this. I really have to say that I've rarely seen such beautiful cities as I did during this time - Riga in particular is really impressive in summer!"

WS 2019/20: BA BW

The Netherlands

University of Aruba

"As Aruba is a Caribbean island, it is of course a dream to spend a semester abroad there. I can really only recommend it. The sea, the beach, the people and the Caribbean flair are unique!"

WS 2019/20: BA IWI

Sweden

Kristianstad University

"The accommodation was organised by Kristianstad University in Sweden. In addition to a resort in Ahus on the beach, there was also the choice of accommodation in an old prison in the centre of Kristianstad, which has been used as a student residence since 2013."

WS 2018/19: MA IB

Spain

Universidad de Castilla

"The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers a unique medieval flair and has a great history as the former capital of Spain."

WS 2019/20: MA

University of the Basque Country

"Life in Casco Viejo is pretty lively and there is always something going on thanks to the numerous bars and restaurants. In general, you could say that it's more of a touristy and traditional Spanish town."

WS 2019/20: BA

Turkey

Istanbul Aydin University

"The university clearly exceeded my expectations. The campus was really like the one you see in films. Very large, with several cafés, even its own Starbucks, Subway, Burger King and many other restaurants - a large complex that is very nice to look at."

Semester abroad in Seoul, South Korea

"For me, it was clear from the start: either a semester abroad in South Korea or none at all. However, as Landshut University of Applied Sciences doesn't have a partner university in Korea, I first had to research how it would be possible to study there."

Semester abroad in Long Beach, California

"California has fascinated me as a country since I was young. The combination of one of the most polarising regions in the world, together with the breathtaking nature and proximity to the beach, has always appealed to me."
