Our office hours are on Tuesdays.

Please read the additional information and contact the Erasmus+ Geosciences Office if you have any questions.

There are many ways to integrate a stay abroad into your studies. The most prominent are the ERASMUS+ program, a Direct Exchange and the Promos program. Our office at the department of Geosciences is only responsible for the ERASMUS+ program. If you are interested in a Direct Exchange or the Promos program, please visit the central page for studying abroad of the Free University Berlin.

Direct Exchange

Direct Exchange offers students the opportunity to participate in a worldwide university exchange. Students have their tuition fees waived and some universities also offer stipendia for living expenses. The UK will no longer participate in the Erasmus+ programme from the academic year 2023/24! If you are interested, please contact the Direct Exchange Programme. 

PROMOS

With the help of PROMOS, individually organized short stays abroad (e.g. internships or excursions) of a duration of up to six months can also be funded if the project or the destination does not fit in with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) or the ERASMUS+ program.

Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes

Blended Intensive Programmes are learning activities for students or staff from several partner universities that combine a short joint face-to-face phase in an Erasmus+ Programme Participant Country with one or more virtual learning phases. If you are interested, please contact Anne Mbakwe (anne.mbakwe@fu-berlin.de). You can find more information here.

Winter and summer schools, language courses

For shorter stays abroad, you can attend a winter or summer school or a language course. The latter can also take place as part of winter or summer schools. The respective offers usually have a thematic focus that deepens certain content that may be part of your studies, for example. A language course can be completed in preparation for a longer stay abroad. In some cases, you can apply for a scholarship and/or a travel grant via PROMOS or directly to the DAAD. You can find detailed information and the contact details of the contact persons on this page and in the flyer, which can be downloaded at the bottom of the page under “Downloads”.

You can also find pictures and stories from students abroad on our Instagram page.
