Erasmus
Within the framework of the Erasmus program, we promote exchange in Europe. The International Office is the first point of contact for students: we provide advice on applying for funding, for example, or help with making contact with host universities. We are the contact for Kassel outgoers who would like to spend a semester abroad or do an internship in Europe and for all international incomers: Erasmus students who study at our faculty for one or two semesters as part of the Erasmus Plus program or international students who want to complete their Bachelor's and/or Master's degree.
