Going abroad

Would you like to gain experience abroad, broaden your horizons, immerse yourself in another culture and improve your language skills? A stay abroad with Erasmus+ offers you the opportunity to develop artistically, academically and personally.

Erasmus+ provides you with organizational and financial support for your stay abroad, whether for study purposes, research or an internship. Students can be supported several times (in each study phase: Bachelor, Master, doctorate) for up to 12 months.
All EU countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, the Republic of North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia and Turkey participate in the Erasmus+ program.

Information at a glance

  • Application

    The internal application is made by submitting the Erasmus+ application (download PDF here) by December 15 for the academic year 2025/26, the winter semester 2025/26 and the summer semester 2026.

    In addition, you must then apply to the respective universities of your choice. You will receive further information on this at the beginning of January.

    Applicants will be selected on the basis of their academic performance, and for artistic degree programs on the basis of the audio/video files or their compositional work. A study place can only be expected if the teaching staff have free capacity.
