TU Braunschweig maintains many direct partnerships with universities worldwide. As part of these exchange programmes, you can spend one or two semesters studying, researching or writing a thesis at a partner university.
Applying via an exchange programme simplifies the organisation and the financing of your stay abroad:
ISEP is an exchange organisation from the USA with around 275 partner universities in 39 countries and offers comparatively affordable opportunities to study outside Europe. The ISEP partners are renowned US universities and universities in countries in which TU Braunschweig has no or only a few direct exchange programmes, such as South Africa, Japan or Australia.
International Credit Mobility (ICM) allows students to visit countries outside Europe that are not Erasmus+ programme countries. The prerequisite for visiting the respective university is an inter-institutional agreement between TU Braunschweig and the host university.
To participate in an exchange programme, you must always apply to TU Braunschweig first. After the application deadline, we invite all applicants to a selection interview. If you have been nominated to participate in a programme, you must apply to the partner university independently and within the deadline. The partner university will decide on your final admission to the programme.
The application procedure for Erasmus+ ICM outside Europe runs via the normal overseas application procedure. This means that you apply as usual by 15 November for the following academic year for the exchange place at a non-European partner university, and the ICM is granted in the overseas selection procedure.
TU Braunschweig supports the internationalisation of teacher training and offers prospective teachers various opportunities to gain teaching experience abroad. You can find all the important information on the website of the Faculty of Humanities and Education:
The DAAD provides detailed country information on studying abroad. Here you will find information on the higher education system, scholarship programmes and cooperations, as well as experience reports and lots of practical tips for preparing your stay abroad.
