Special Programs & Information for Free Movers

  • In addition to our own exchange programs, we at Student Mobility & International Students work together with various partner organizations to offer you the opportunity to apply for certain special programs. Applications for most programs should be submitted through our office. Please check the pages of the individual programs below for further details. 
     
  • We have also put together here information about various scholarship opportunities for so-called "free movers" looking for financial support for their project. Free movers are students who organize their studies abroad independently of their own university's exchange or cooperation agreements. As free movers, students are required to organize their accommodation abroad as well as payment of their tuition fees themselves Tuition fees can be covered in part or in full by Auslands-BAföG, DAAD scholarships or other scholarship programs (see below). You need to apply directly to these organizations regarding scholarships.
