Unlike regular international applicants, exchange students from partner universities do not have to take a German language test, nor do they require a valid qualification for admission to higher education in Germany.

Exchange students are simply nominated for a study period at Osnabrück University by their home university and can then apply for studies at Osnabrück University.

As soon as you have been nominated for an exchange programme and received the first information mail, please apply through the following online application link and send a pdf-copy of your application to the International Office (incoming@uos.de) in order to officially apply as an exchange student

  • online application  (pdf form)
    Please note: When you log into the online application for the first time, you will have to register with your name, e-mail address and a password that you can create yourself. Afterwards you can log in with your e-mail address and password.

Please note that we can only accept your application once we have received it by e-mail. Thank you!

As soon as the International Office has received and processed your application, you will receive a letter of admission by post (which you will need to apply for a visa, if you require a visa to enter Germany), together with further information concerning
your stay in Osnabrück.
