Study abroad self-organised - Freemover
Semester abroad (self-organized | freemover)
If you are interested in a semester abroad at a university with which there is no partnership , you can organize your stay yourself as a so-called freemover. Please note that you will usually have to pay tuition fees.
You can check here whether there is a partnership via your Faculty or a university partnership.
Organizing a stay via another Faculty is only possible in exceptional cases.
Step-by-step:
- Independent research: which countries and universities are suitable for you?
- Find out about suitable offers via an intermediary organization (e.g. gostralia-gomerica, IEC, etc.).
- Profile comparison: check the courses on offer in the course catalog and compare them with your areas of specialization. If necessary, consult with module coordinators in the Faculty.
- Contact the International Office of your university of choice or the intermediary organization and ask about the general conditions for a stay as a freemover.
- Check the possibility of having your tuition fees covered(Auslandsbafög).
- Find out about scholarships and funding for your stay.
