Asia (except Korea)

Next application deadline:

December 1, 2026, for the 2027/28 winter semester and/or the 2028 summer semester.

The University of Tübingen is also well connected in Asia and can offer around 100 exchange places for Tübingen students.

As with the other non-European exchange programs, the exchange agreements allow you to study for one or two semesters at one of the partner universities without having to pay their tuition fees if your application is successful. However, administrative fees, which are comparable to the Tübingen semester fee, and other fees at the host university (e.g. compulsory health insurance) cannot be waived as part of the exchange

My exchange in Hong Kong was a unique experience that I will never forget. The exciting city life of an Asian metropolis like Hong Kong is simply incomparable. With its night markets, traditional festivals, and a lifestyle that is completely different from that in the West, Asia offers experiences that cannot be had anywhere else. The people and places you get to know there leave a lasting impression and motivate you to reach new heights.
