Study abroad

The Faculty of Economic Sciences offers places for exchange periods through the Erasmus programme  (within Europe) or the university partnership programmes (outside Europe). In addition, students can apply for an exchange place through the International Office of the University of Würzburg.

Alternatively, you can organize your stay abroad on your own as a so-called "free mover". In this case, it should be noted that both the financial and organizational effort is much higher. For example, you may have to pay any tuition fees yourself. Finding financial support as a "free mover" is much more time-consuming and difficult.

Most host universities require a language certificate in the national language or in English for the application. You can obtain the corresponding proof of your foreign language skills at the Language Center (ZfS). This is the so-called mobility test. The test and the issuing of the proof are subject to a fee (20€).

Detailed information can be found here.

As part of ERASMUS+, study stays or internships can be financially supported by so-called mobility grants. Eligible stays are between three and twelve months. The monthly grant is based on the cost of living in the host country.
A study stay through a university partnership program (outside the ERASMUS area) can be funded through a so-called PROMOS scholarship. However, students are required to apply for this.

• PROMOS scholarship
• BAföG abroad
• Education loan program of the Federal government
  The German government's education loan program is designed to provide targeted financial support to students in advanced stages of their education, through a simple and low-interest loan.

•    Scholarship portal myStipendium.de 
  Here, high school graduates, students and doctoral candidates can obtain an overview of all scholarships quickly and free of charge

If you want to study outside the European Union, you will need a visa for many countries. Therefore, please inquire at the responsible foreign mission (embassy or consulate) far enough in advance and submit the application as soon as you have received the official confirmation of admission from the host university.
Outside Europe, a passport is also required.

Would you like to do an internship abroad during your studies? The university or faculty cannot arrange internships for you, but they can point out funding and placement opportunities. Helpful information can also be found in the DAAD brochure.

Students can apply for an ERASMUS internship starting in their first year of study. An internship can be carried out independently or in combination with an ERASMUS study visit. The ERASMUS+ programme can support students up to 12 months per study period (Bachelor, Master, Doctorate).
Promos scholarship: With PROMOS, you can have a stay of up to six months abroad funded, regardless of whether it is a study programme or an internship. Information on PROMOS funding as well as advice is provided. Detailed information about funding opportunities is provided by the International Office.
