Application and Admission Process

There are different ways to apply for an exchange at our faculty. If you are from Europe, there is the inner-Europe exchange program ERASMUS. If you're not from a European country, you may benefit from our worldwide network of partner universities. Furthermore, there is always the possibility to apply for the admission of international students whose university does not belong to our current partner universities or exchange programmes.

Incoming exchange students are administrated centrally at the International Office. You are admitted as non-degree student for a limited study period (one or two semesters). As an international programme student, you are allowed to register for classes and to earn credits under the same conditions as regular students at our university.
You can find more detailed information about the application and admission process using the link in the "Downloads and Links" section down below.
