ERASMUS study abroad
Through the ERASMUS programme the European Union promotes cooperation between institutions of higher education within the ERASMUS area. An integrative part of the programme is the exchange of students among universities in the 27 EU-countries and Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Croatia and Switzerland.
Universität Leipzig students have the chance of studying at one of the ERASMUS partner universities for one to two semesters. This is an option for all students enrolled in their 2nd year or above (up to obtaining the doctoral degree) and regardless of their nationality.
There is time to go abroad. Check your study and examination regulations for details on recommended study abroad periods and find out about your individual options for accommodating them in your study programme.
