Financing

Sufficient funding is a basic prerequisite for a successful stay abroad - so find out about funding opportunities and application deadlines early on. You can find information on the costs you may incur here.

There is a wide range of sponsors and financing options. The International Office itself offers funding opportunities via Erasmus+, PROMOS and the Cross-Boarder-Studies Scholarship.

Of course, you are free to find out about other offers on your own.
