Students of the Bachelor's programme are recommended to complete a semester abroad. Semesters 5 and 6 of the degree programme are particularly suitable for this. In addition to the subject-specific competences, the following qualifications can be acquired through a study period abroad:
Acquisition and deepening of subject-specific foreign language skills
Acquisition and deepening of general language skills (language comprehension, conversation, etc.)
Acquisition and deepening of organisational skills through independent planning of everyday study life in international administrative and university structures
Getting to know and studying in international study systems and broadening one's own subject perspective
Acquisition and deepening of intercultural competences
The recognition of examinations taken during studies abroad as compulsory subjects, electives or free electives is carried out by the Director of Studies. The documents required for the assessment are to be submitted by the applicant immediately after the stay abroad.
With the Erasmus+ programme, students can study for up to twelve months per study cycle at one of the 65 partner universities in 24 European countries. Credits earned are recognised at the home university. Student mobility outside the EU is possible under several bilateral agreements.
