Going Abroad Session

Thinking outside the box, leaving your comfort zone and living abroad for a while - this is not only an exciting personal experience and enrichment, it will also make you more attractive for prospective employers.

The easiest and probably most cost-effective time in life to go abroad for some months (or longer) is during your studies. Whether with a student exchange semester, as part of a research stay for your thesis or for an internship. There are many different possibilities, which we want to inform about in our Going Abroad Session on June 21, 2023 as part of the International Days of Faculty 5.

Learn more about funding programs such as Erasmus+, get to know new and established partner universities and cooperation projects of our faculty and talk to alumni about their experiences abroad.
