Direct exchange
Students can apply for a direct exchange for one or two semesters at partner universities in:
· Australia, Brazil, Chile, Israel, Japan, Canada, Korea, Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan, USA, China/ Hong Kong
What the Direct exchange has to offer:
Students will receive a partial Scholarship, i.e. an exemption from tuition fees
Usually, students receive a one time grant funded by the means of the University. The sum of this grant is dependent on the means of the university which are available at the time (normally around 900€).
Please note that you should inform yourself about other ways of financing even before applying for a direct exchange, since many deadlines are set even before the application deadline for the direct exchange.
Some partner universities offer lodging in halls of residence.
