Participation in Erasmus Programs
The Erasmus program offers students the opportunity to study at a European partner university for a certain period. This exchange program is part of the Erasmus+ program of the European Union and promotes international exchange among students and lecturers. Students can spend either a semester or an entire academic year abroad. In addition to exemptions from tuition fees, participants often receive financial support to cover the higher living costs abroad. The exchange promotes the acquisition of intercultural competencies and can enhance career opportunities after graduation.
Opportunities for Participation in Excursions
Many German universities regularly offer excursions, which are often part of the curriculum. Excursions allow students to experience theoretical content in a practical context. This is particularly important in fields such as geosciences, archaeology, or engineering, as the excursions often lead to significant sites or companies. Such events are not only educational but also provide the opportunity to network with professionals and experts, which can be advantageous for later career paths.
