Students at the Ohm have the opportunity to study at one of nearly 180 partner universities worldwide. The agreements we have with our partners make it significantly easier for students to plan and go abroad for a semester. 

Advantages:

  • exemption from or reduced course fees (tuition) at the hosting partner university
  • coursework achieved abroad is recognised for academic purposes (transferable credits)
  • planning and organisational support from the International Office
  • financial support (depending on the programme and availability of funds)
  • support in finding accommodation (can vary depending on the respective university)
     

Instructions for students:
The Erasmus+ programme at the Ohm exclusively supports stays abroad at European partner universities. 
For semesters abroad at institutions outside of Europe, there are also numerous partner universities worldwide, each with their own funding opportunities and programme requirements.

Free Mover - Independently organised semester abroad

Students who independently study at or organise a semester at a foreign university that is not partnered with the Ohm are referred to as “Free Movers”.

Most foreign universities that are not partners, and therefore do not have a cooperation agreement with the Ohm, charge exchange students tuition. 

Students who intend to apply for a study place as a guest or visiting student for 1 or 2 semesters at a university abroad are advised to contact the intended host university well in advance for information on application deadlines and formalities.

International experience is in demand everywhere. Therefore, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) have established the “studieren weltweit – ERLEBE ES!” initiative.
