Application

An online application is required for the academic year 2025/26. In addition, the paper printout of the online application and the written application documents (see below) must be submitted to the International Office.

After the application deadline, students are selected by an internal selection committee based on their academic qualifications and language skills. Further criteria are the study project as well as its preparation and feasibility.

The International Office will inform you of the internal selection committee’s decision and nominate you for a place at the host university if the selection committee’s decision is in your favour. The final decision on acceptance or rejection lies with the host university and is made on the basis of the documents you submit. The host university may request further documents, which you must then submit by the deadline.

Once the documents have been processed, the host university will send you an official letter of admission as well as further information, e.g. on accommodation, travel, etc. Once you have been admitted by the host university, you can apply for a student visa (if required) at the embassy or consulate of the host country.

The application and selection procedure for (Erasmus+) departmental cooperation places falls under the responsibility of the respective departments.

Applications must be submitted to your department at the beginning of each year for the coming academic year. As a rule, the application deadline is based on the application deadline for the partner universities at university level (academic year 2025/26: February 6, 2025), but may differ.

Each department has an Erasmus+ coordinator who processes and receives Erasmus applications and advises students during the process. You can check out the various options and get informed on the application documents, application deadlines, requirements and selection criteria. The departments independently determine the application documents for an application for the (Erasmus+) departmental cooperation places. In principle, an  Online application is required for the application. In addition to the mandatory online application, the departments specify further accompanying application documents that must be submitted to the department by the application deadline.

Please enquire with the departmental coordinator well in advance about the respective application deadline and the documents to be submitted.

The following overview of Erasmus coordinators at the respective departments shows which coordinator is responsible for you.

Students are selected based on their academic qualifications and language skills. Further criteria are the study project, its preparation and feasibility.

After receiving and reviewing your documents, the departmental coordinator will nominate you for a place at the host university if your application is accepted.

The departmental coordinator forwards the online application to the International Office, which is responsible for approving and administering the Erasmus mobility grants.
