Exchange & Visiting Students

With students from all over the world, internationality is an important aspect of INATECH and our degree programs. Exchange students from all over the world further enrich the internationality of INATECH. Even though many of our students are already gaining experience abroad through their studies in Freiburg, we would like to encourage everyone to explore their options.

Whether for incoming or outgoing students, studying abroad can be one of the best experiences a student can have. Studying abroad opens up exciting insights into new worlds. New cultures, different languages, exciting people, new approaches to your subject - all this awaits you when you study abroad.

 

Overview of the different programs:

Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is the European Union’s (EU) funding programme for general education and vocational training, youth and sport. The EU has been promoting cross-border mobility and exchange between European universities since 1987. With the integration of several EU funding programmes, the name changed from "Erasmus" to "Erasmus+" starting with the 2014-2021 generation of programmes. The overall aim of the programme is to support the educational, professional and personal development of people in Europe and beyond through lifelong learning. The programme is thus an important instrument for the creation of a European education area. The EU has extended Erasmus+ until 2027 and increased the budget for this period to €26.2 billion. The new generation of programmes retains familiar funding lines, while adding several programme innovations as well as further funding opportunities. The focus is on inclusion and diversity, the green and digital transitions, and democratic participation.

You can also go abroad through open Erasmus places of other faculties (Restplätze)Here is an overview of all Erasmus partnerships at the University of Freiburg. Please note that deadlines, terms, and conditions vary between the departments. Some partnerships only allow you to take courses in a specific discipline, others are open. For questions, please contact the Erasmus coordinator of the particular faculty or the Erasmus Office.

Free Mover

You can also go to any university you like as a so-called "free mover". This option gives you a lot of freedom but it also means that you are responsible for all organization and administration yourself and that you will have to pay tuition fees. The International Office offers advising for students who are interested in studying abroad as free movers.
