International mobility, language skills and flexibility are more in demand than ever in today's professional life and studies. Studying abroad not only allows you to make international contacts, establish important networks for the future and improve your foreign language skills, but also gives you a new perspective on your field of study and university life. We are committed to promoting cross-cultural dialogue between students from different countries by supporting various exchange programmes.

Both of our institutes offer CLEWS students different opportunity to apply to study abroad:

The Institute of Environmental Sciences and Geography

The Institute of Physics and Astronomy

The Erasmus coordinators are responsible for answering all questions relating to the exchange programme. If you would like to apply for a place abroad, please contact the coordinator of the relevant institute.

Erasmus coordinators select nominees based on their academic performance, language skills and motivation. Funding consists of a mobility grant.

Please note: Once you have secured a place, you can select the courses you would like to study abroad. These course selections must be checked with your CLEWS coordinator to ensure that they can be recognised in your CLEWS study programme. This must be done before you start your Erasmus semester abroad. If you do not check the courses beforehand, we cannot guarantee that your selection will be recognised.
