The content on this page was translated automatically.

Please note that a lead time of approximately 1 to 1 1/2 years may be required before the planned stay abroad.

1. first you should get general information about the Erasmus program and about the partner university or partner universities you are interested in. This can be done e.g. via the internet (see links of the section"Partner Universities"). Please consider if there are other possible places for your study abroad besides your first desired destination.

2. prerequisite for admission to the Erasmus program and enrollment at the partner university is the availability of a free study place at the desired partner university. Therefore, please first contact Ms. Condado, who can provide you with information about this - also by e-mail.

For the professional planning of your stay abroad, please contact the internationalization officer of the institute, Prof. Dr. Sigrid James. 

4. if a study place is available for you, please register with your signature on the department-internal application form . With your signature you commit yourself to keep the contact persons in the institute or department informed about your preparation for the stay abroad and about the status of the placement procedure.

After you have registered online in the International Office, submit a copy of this registration as well as a current certificate of enrollment and a passport photo to Ms. Condado . With this you apply internally for the place, whereby a selection process will only be necessary if there are more applications than places - in any case, an attempt would be made to meet any second or third wish regarding the partner university indicated in the internal application. Otherwise, please attach to the internal application an overview of the previous course of studies, any experience with International SPIRIT or experience abroad, as well as a short letter of motivation. On this basis, the nomination of selected candidates will be made by the Erasmus or Internationalization Officer of the Institute(Prof. Dr. Sigrid James) on the specified deadlines.

After your nomination at the partner university, you will receive all important information about your upcoming stay abroad from the International Office as well as from your partner university. In addition, you may have to complete further formalities or submit documents to the partner university.

As an Erasmus student, you will conclude alearning agreement with your home and host university, which ensures that the courses you have attended and the credits you have earned are recognized. Proceed as follows with the Learning Agreement:

Already before starting your stay abroad select possible courses and coordinate them with the Erasmus representative of the department. With your signature on the Learning Agreement, he/she confirms the selected events. Subsequently, the Erasmus representative of the partner university must sign the agreement to confirm the selected courses. Here you have to get in touch with the corresponding contact person independently.

Subsequent changes to the Learning Agreement are generally possible and often necessary. They require the consent of all parties involved - even after arrival at the location for the study abroad.

After completion of your studies abroad, the so-called "Transcript of Records" - signed by the Erasmus representative of the host university -, the Letter of Confirmation as well as the Experience Report have to be handed in to the International Office. Please hand these documents over to the responsible Erasmus representative of the Institute of Social Work, so that he or she can arrange for the recognition and assignment of the attended courses as well as your achievements by the chairperson of the examination board.
