Funding for studying abroad

You are still entitled to study grants for a maximum of four semesters studying abroad. In addition, you can receive a monthly allowance for studying abroad for at least one month, the amount of which is based on the standard of living in your destination country. For students under 24, different amounts apply for external and non-external. The exact amount of this monthly foreign grant can be found on the website of the Studienbeihilfenbehörde (german).

After completing your studies abroad, you must provide proof of academic success for the time spent abroad no later than the application deadline for the following semester. To do this, you need a notice of recognition for at least 3 ECTS points per month spent abroad. Alternatively, confirmation of the progress of the bachelor's or scientific work is also possible.
