If you are planning to study at a European university which does not have an arrangement with the Faculty of Spatial and Environmental Planning or if the places are already taken you have the possibility to apply via another faculty (e.g. architecture).

Requirements

• The other faculty has still free places.
• The ERASMUS co-ordinator of the other faculty is willing to arrange the exchange of the Free Mover with the partner university.
• The choosen partner university accepts the Free Mover outside the subjects area.

Important advice: in Spain 50% of the Free Mover applicants are declined.

Students, who don't want or can't do their studies abroad within a exchange programme from the University (missing cooperation agreement, no free places), can organize their stay at a host university of their choice on their own.

Funding possibilities

Potential funding possibilities are the Auslands-Bafög (among others up to 4.600€ for study fees) as well as the annual scholarship programmes of the DAAD. You have to pay the study fees of the host university yourself.

Planning and application

You should start at least 1,5 years before your stay abroad to plan it to make sure that no application deadlines for scholarships are missed. You can apply at any foreign university.

Tips:

• Inform yourself on the homepage of your prefered university (key words can be: "Study Abroad", "Non-degree seeking students" or "occasional students")

or

• contact the "International Office" of your prefered university 

Advice: In countries with study fees the chances are quite good. (e.g., Australia, the USA, Canada, Great Britain). But also in countries like France, Spain and Italy the inquiry is worth it despite lower study fees.
