Questions about your stay abroad? - Then please contact us at teamoutgoing[at]uni-wuppertal.de
Dear students,
Please note that the International Office does not offer personal initial counselling!
In order to provide you with the best possible targeted and individualised information, we have developed a three-stage counselling concept (german only) counselling concept.
| Step 1 | In regular information events, we provide all interested students - in digital form - with the essential basics and options on the topic of "study abroad" |
| Step 2 | Participation is a prerequisite for all further counselling sessions, which currently take place mainly by telephone. |
| Step 3 | Only then can you make appointments for face-to-face counselling sessions. |
You will find the log-in details for participating in the information events in the Moodle course for the corresponding event.

Study or do an internship abroad in Europe
The Erasmus+ programme at a glance

So whether you want to study in Europe or do an internship - the Erasmus+ programme can support you on both paths.

Planning a stay abroad outside Europe
If you are going abroad for a few months to do an internship, attend a summer school or study abroad, you can apply for a PROMOS scholarship. The advantages? In the best case scenario, you will receive a scholarship and thus financial support for your project.
The information event "PROMOS - Workshop for the application" is all about how to best prepare for the application. Together, we will discuss which documents you need to submit and, in particular, what you should pay attention to when preparing your CV and letter of motivation.
You can find the PROMOS application documents here.
So don't miss a chance to prepare yourself optimally!

Short stays abroad
Going abroad in the summer and doing something for your studies at the same time?
Summer schools make this possible. This is a special form of study that was originally common at US and Canadian universities in particular. There, the summer months from May to September are often not lecture-free, but the universities offer numerous courses from their regular programme, which usually last five to six weeks.
This is a great way to have fun while learning. Many universities around the world now offer summer schools that allow you to study a particular subject in depth or discover a new area of interest.
In this event, we will show you various options and inform you about the application process and corresponding funding opportunities.
Date: Wednesday, 08.01.2025, 4-6 p.m.

Stays abroad in Asia, Africa, Australia, North or South America
Europe is not far enough away for you? Would you like to immerse yourself in an environment that is still foreign to you? Why not? If not now, then when? In this event, you will be presented with existing university partnerships that the University of Wuppertal maintains with partner universities outside Europe. In this way, you can combine the advantages of a permanent partnership with the experience of "further afield". Here you can find out which partnerships exist and what you should bear in mind when planning and realising them.
1st date: Tuesday, 05.11.2024, 4-6 p.m.
2nd date: Tuesday, 14.01.2025, 4-6 p.m.
