Studying Abroad
Are you interested in studying abroad?
Spending a semester or even a whole year abroad during your studies in Mathematics is certainly a valuable asset! The experience of teaching, learning and living in another country is surely of paramount importance. However, your staying abroad must be well prepared, since there are some bureaucratic and financial processes to overcome. You can quickly find here the main information about these procedures.
You should first ask for an appointment with the Service Centre International Affairs of the University of Würzburg. The Service Centre International Affairs is the primary department of the central administration for the coordination and implementation of foreign relations of the University of Würzburg. It informs and advises local students who are planning to stay abroad, as well as it supports applications for foreign scholarships.
On the website of the Service Centre International Affairs you will find various information about studying abroad: preparations, exchange programs, financial support (e.g. Auslands-Bafög) and internship. It also provides useful addresses for the logistic and it can assist you during the translation process.
The Erasmus program coordinators of Mathematics are Prof. Dr. Leon Bungert and Dr. Francesco De Anna.
Information on the Erasmus exchange program for the academic year 2025/26 can be found here: slides for the info event on 21 November 2024
If you would like to apply, please make sure you have all the necessary documents ready and send them via MoveOn by 15 January 2025.
Note:
Upon your return, your achievements must be recognised for formal recording purposes. The grades for these achievements will be calculated by the Examination Office in accordance with the regulations and recorded with your achievements. To do this, please fill out a credit transfer form, have it signed by the chair of the examination comittee, and submit the application with the supporting documents from the foreign university to the Examination Office.
If you have any questions, please also use this email address.
You can find further useful information on the pages of the Service Centre InterNational Transfer of our university.
You will find all the necessary information about exchange programs on this page from the Economics Department. The contact persons are Michaela Briglmeir and Prof. Dr. Hans Fehr.
Tip for students of Mathematical Economics: maybe your staying abroad can be combined with your internship! Some suggestions for this are provided by the International Office on this page.
In addition to the Erasmus program, there are also other opportunities to travel abroad, for example through scholarships from the DAAD. These scholarships are of particular attention for students interested to visit non-European countries. Please, be in touch with the responsible of the Examination Committee or the Academic Advising, about which courses from the foreign catalog can transfer credits at the University of Würzburg.
