Important note: Please bear in mind that the database lists all potential partner universities. Unfortunately, this does not mean that you will necessarily be able to study at every partner university listed for your faculty as part of your degree programme. This may be because the cooperation agreement is only for selected degree programmes, or because your degree programme is not offered at the partner university. Check the profiles of our overseas partner universities and the ERASMUS programme, and then speak to your Student Exchange Coordinator.
