Many roads lead to studying abroad \u2013 JGU students can choose from a variety of different destinations and programs. The Erasmus+ program is the most common exchange program in Europe and gives you the opportunity to spend one or two semesters or even a shorter period of time abroad. Additionally, JGU has a large number of partnerships and collaborative agreements with universities across the globe through which you can study abroad for one or two semesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can plan your stay abroad independently as a free mover<\/a> and choose your host university on your own.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/jgu-base-section>\n\n\n

Most Europeans will be familiar with Erasmus+ as a classic way of studying abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erasmus+ has a budget of around \u20ac26.2 billion (70% of which is earmarked for mobility) and is scheduled to run for seven years. With about 400 Erasmus+ partner universities<\/a>, a broad range of host institutions is available to you as a JGU student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Erasmus+ grant has a lot of advantages. In addition to a simplified admission procedure and financial aid, you are also exempt from paying tuition fees at your host institution. The Erasmus+ agreement your subject has with the host institution is the basis for your stay abroad. Your options may therefore vary depending on your degree program. But don\u2019t worry \u2013 JGU has a large number of such agreements in place and you are sure to find the right destination for you. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/jgu-base-section>\n\n<\/jgu-base-heading>\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n

You can use our interactive world map<\/a> to discover JGU\u2019s Erasmus+ partner universities and find out what options are open to you. To do so, simply select your program of study (for \u201cProgramm,\u201d select \u201cErasmus+ Studium\u201d) and your subject in German (under \u201cFachrichtung\u201d). You can only go abroad on an Erasmus+ stay if there is an agreement in place for your subject. Please note that you must have at least an intermediate language level in the host university\u2019s language of instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a rule, funding is provided for stays abroad lasting for two to twelve months at universities that have an Erasmus+ partnership agreement with JGU. Erasmus+ students are exempt from the tuition fees at their host institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grants vary depending on the receiving country. These are determined by the cost of living in the host country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
