Exchange Program

If, following a centuries-old academic tradition, you would like to study abroad for one or two semesters, your first point of contact is the International Office. The International Office will help you to overcome the ever-increasing bureaucratic difficulties. It is also worth taking a look at the website of the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD. An overview of the University of Freiburg's exchange programs can be found on the website of the International Office. The following persons / institutions within the Faculty of Mathematics can also help:

  • The European ERASMUS exchange programme is organized by the faculties.
  • A stay abroad at the end of the Bachelor's degree or at the beginning of the Master's degree is recommended.
  • The program is open to all students who (1) are citizens of a European country or (2) are so-called “Bildungsinländer” and can prove that they have completed a large part of their schooling or the Abitur in Germany.
  • Participants in the ERASMUS program are granted a funding period for which a mobility grant is paid. This funding period does not have to correspond to the actual duration of the stay.
  • The mobility grant for the ERASMUS study visit is staggered according to country groups, which are based on the different costs of living in the target countries.

You can find more information on this here.

If you are interested, please send an application by email to erasmus@math.uni-freiburg.de. In your application, please briefly explain your study plans and indicate / hand in: - date of birth - nationality - address - e-mail address - semester and degree program - letter of motivation explaining why you would like to participate in the ERASMUS exchange program at the respective partner university - desired length of stay at the desired partner university - transcript of records

Interested students are requested to apply in good time (at the latest by the end of February or the end of July each year for the following winter or summer semester). In the case of equal suitability, applications received earlier will be given preferential consideration. A selection will be made from the applications received on time. Later applications will be considered if places are still available. From April or September, however, it will be difficult to meet the application deadlines of the partner universities.

Once your application has been accepted, the Erasmus office will send you all the necessary documents. These include the “Learning Agreement”, in which it must be agreed which lectures will be attended during the semester abroad. The guideline is to attend lectures with a total of 20-30 ECTS credits. You should also receive a message from the desired partner university regarding enrollment there.
