For initial information, we recommend that you first review the information on our website and then attend one of our Info Sessions. There, we’ll provide you with orientation and take the time to answer your questions.

 

For any additional questions that may arise later, we offer email support and Consultation Hours. During consultation hours, you can ask questions that come up while you’re preparing your application materials - or simply listen in on others’ discussions.

 

At the Overseas Talks, you can meet students who have already returned from their exchange semester or year. Come to these events to get a sense of a destination country or university, learn from the experiences of former exchange program participants, or ask them questions yourself.

 

Be sure to check out our event calendar or subscribe to it to stay informed about upcoming courses.

 

Info Sessions

Let's address general questions about the programs and their respective requirements, as well as details on the application process and how to best prepare. 

We offer iInfo Sessions approximately once a month during the semester - sometimes as online webinars, sometimes in person.

To participate in the online sessions, access the “Study Abroad Information Sessions” course room in ILIAS. Please select the corresponding folder “Overseas Information Sessions.” Registration is not required.

Please review the information on our website beforehand - during the Info Session, we want to dedicate sufficient time to answer your questions.
