Overseas exchange program 2026/27

Your options
There are many ways to gain experience abroad - for example through a semester or year at a partner university, an internship, volunteer work or special short programs that only last a few weeks. You can also write your thesis abroad. Find the format that best suits your goals and interests. Regardless of your field of study - a stay abroad will help you personally and professionally.

Where should you go?
Whether within Europe or further afield - many programs offer English-language courses, so you don't need to be fluent in the local language. However, basic knowledge is helpful in everyday life to really get to know the country and its people.
Important: The application deadline for the overseas exchange program (with full tuition fee waiver) in the 2026/27 academic year is already October 30.
