Studying in Osnabrück with Erasmus
Welcome to Osnabrück!
Here you will find some useful information to make your start at Osnabrück Biology easier. Please note: All Erasmus students must first be nominated by their home university. You have to apply for the Erasmus program at your university.
The Erasmus program at Osnabrück University is organized in a decentralized way. This means that both your Erasmus subject coordinator (contact at department level) and the International Office (contact at university level) are responsible for your support.
The subject coordinator is your main contact and advisor. He can help you with academic questions and will assist you with any problems you may have. Always contact your subject coordinator first, i.e. for the School of Biology / Chemistry Dr. Luca Gentile.
The International Office takes care of general issues that concern all international students, not only Erasmus students.
If you have been nominated as an Erasmus student at Osnabrück University, you have to apply at the university. To do so, please print out the data sheet and send it to the subject coordinator. Once you have officially applied, you will receive all further information.
For the selection of courses, look at the overview of courses at Osnabrück university or at this catalogue of all modules taught at Osnabrück Biology. Here you can find an overview of English-language modules taught at Osnabrück Biology. Bitte beachten Sie: Bachelorstudierende können nur Kurse auf Bachelorniveau wählen, Masterstudierende können nur Kurse auf Masterniveau wählen.
Please note: Bachelor students can only choose courses at Bachelor level, Master students can only choose courses at Master level. You can choose courses from all departments, but at least one course per semester has to be from the Biology department.
Registration for the courses takes place via Stud.IP. The exact procedure will be explained during the Welcome week. Please send us the learning agreement with your application documents so that the department already knows which courses you would like to take.
It is very important that you deal with these questions and select courses early!
Please be sure to attend the next lesson and then explain why you missed the first lesson. Do not miss another lesson, because you are not allowed to stay away without excuse.
The ECTS credits for a course or module are indicated in the overview of courses.
You can attend language courses at the Language Center. German courses are offered during the semester.
Your achievements at Osnabrück University are documented by certificates completed by the lecturers and submitted to the International Office. Only when all certificates are available, the Transcript of Records can be created. At the end of the semester you will receive information about this via e-mail.
