Application Process for Studying at our Partner Universities

After registering in the application portal, you can download the information on data protection. Enter your name and the partner university under “Declaration of consent” and sign at the bottom of the page before uploading the document back to the portal.

Your CV should be one to two pages long. You can choose your own format or use the European Union’s Europass CV template.

Write a cohesive text of one to one and a half pages in which you briefly describe your motivation for choosing the partner university (first choice). Explain how the planned stay abroad fits into your course of study and what skills you will acquire as a result, also with regard to your future career plans. Also, include a list of the courses you would like to take at the partner university (title, credits). Please use the course overviews from previous semesters for this. If you have any questions about course selection and recognition options, please contact the departmental coordinators for international affairs. Please note that this is only a preliminary list, as the course offerings may change annually and the final coordination of course selection with the department and partner university will only take place shortly before the semester abroad.

Submit a current, complete transcript of records. The transcript must not be older than four weeks at the time of application.

Information in SIS: Select the option “Notenspiegel (PDF)”, set the language to English, check the box “average grade” and “complete transcript with”

Information in Apollo: Select “complete transcript of grades (all achievements, English)”.

If necessary, attach proof of the language skills required by the foreign university. (see information field)

In the first step, the application form asks for some personal data and you indicate which partner university you would like to apply for. An alternative choice can be indicated.

You choose:

• "Erasmus (SMS) Exchange" if you wish to apply for a place at an Erasmus+ partner university.
• "Non-Erasmus", if you are applying for a place at a partner university within Europe that is not an Erasmus+ partner university, and for all other non-European partner universities.

2) It is important that you select your degree programme correctly. If you do so, the corresponding partner universities will be displayed in the next step. 

 Once you have submitted the form, you will receive an e-mail confirmation asking you to register via the "Mobility Online" portal.

The link in the e-mail will take you directly to the correct page, where you must enter your matriculation number for authentication and choose a user name and password. You will then receive a registration confirmation with your user name by email. If you should forget your password, you can have a new one sent to you via "Forgot password". You can then use these credentials to log into the portal at all times and complete your application step by step.

After registering, you can upload the necessary application documents to the portal. You can save your application temporarily and make changes and update documents up until the application deadline.

After the application deadline, your documents will be checked for completeness and then forwarded to your department for the selection procedure. As soon as the decision has been made, you will receive feedback from the International Office.
