General information
In the Master's program International Marketing & Sales, a semester abroad must be completed in the 3rd semester. If you are interested and depending on the partner university, you can also complete the 4th semester abroad.
The following things must be considered when choosing the partner university:
- existing language skills (usually a minimum of B1/B2 is recommended)
- motivation
- personal financial situation
There are a number of partner universities abroad available. On the previous page you will find the partner universities which cooperate with our MSB.
|
Erasmus+ Partner University |
intra-European partner university where you can study without tuition fees. In addition, an Erasmus+ grant is paid. |
|
Partner University |
intra- or non-European partner university where you can study without tuition fees |
|
tolerated partner university |
foreign university with which the OfIS maintains a good relationship; Tuition fees are often charged |
|
Freemover (only possible in Europe) |
the organization of a semester abroad is done independently and without the help of the OfIS or International Office. Organisations such as 'College Contact' can help; often there are sometimes high tuition fees. If you are planning a freemover stay as a first preference, you do not have to wait for a result of the allocation of study places, but in this case you start as soon as possible with the independent organization of the semester abroad and have informed us via the application form that you would like to go abroad as a freemover. |
