For your stay abroad, you should check your financing options at an early stage. In addition to the cost of living, there may be tuition fees, travelling expenses and insurance. Working while studying is not always possible in every country. In many countries, students do not have a work permit.
To make it easier to finance your stay abroad (whether studying or doing an internship), there are a variety of funding opportunities. Please be aware of and observe potential application deadlines.
The Erasmus+ programme is an EU funding programme for studying abroad. Without too many formalities and tuition fees, and with an Erasmus scholarship, it is possible to study abroad depending on the existing university partnerships in the respective degree programme.
The DAAD supports HAW/FH students during their stays abroad and the universities in co-operation projects with international partners.
PROMOS is also a funding opportunity for students who are interested in a stay abroad.
The "Auslands-BAFöG" is a way of financing your compulsory or voluntary semester abroad. It supports one to two semesters of study (max. twelve calendar months) abroad, both within and outside Europe. In addition to studying abroad, it is also possible to apply for BAföG for internships abroad. Internship semesters, which are compulsory, are subsidised under certain conditions.
The Agency for International University Mobility (a.i.m. rlp) provides financial and organisational support for internships in other European countries. It is responsible for the application, implementation and evaluation of EU projects as part of the ERASMUS programme. The agency helps with the search for internship places, establishing contact with companies, financing, finding accommodation abroad and provides students with a contact person during their stay abroad.
The International Office provides information on further funding opportunities:
