Specific steps

When applying for an exchange place at a  partner university, in addition to an online application to the International Office, you must also submit a written application to your subject coordinator.

To apply online, please fill in all fields of the online form completely and note any messages you may receive regarding missing information.

After you have submitted the data, the form will automatically be made available to you as a PDF document. Please print it out, sign it and submit it together with the other application documents to the Erasmus subject coordinator for biology by the deadline.

• Language courses are not eligible for funding.
  Exception: Participation in an intensive language course that takes place directly before the start of the semester abroad is covered by the Erasmus scholarship.
• Health insurance: You will receive an EU health insurance card from your health insurance company. Please discuss the details with your health insurance company.
• Liability insurance: Ask your host university whether you will be insured and how exchange students are insurable at all. In addition, you should also contact your existing liability insurance in this regard.

Leave of absence

•  Discuss with the staff at the examinations office whether you should take a leave of absence for the period of your stay abroad

Application to the partner university

• Independent application to the partner university (please read all Erasmus e-mails very carefully! The application deadline of the partner university must be absolutely respected!)
