Going abroad with Erasmus

International mobility in particular is supported by MLU on a long-term basis and is administratively supported by the International Office. Within the framework of ERASMUS cooperation, there are many opportunities to study abroad for a limited period of time. International experience, sound language skills and the formation of personality through the stay abroad are formative and are increasingly seen as a matter of course. The concept of credit points facilitates the determination of the equivalence of study achievements when planning the study abroad. Partner universities with different focal points are choosen throughout Europe.

The International Office provides substantial help to all incoming and  outgoing students and researchers. Our cooperation with institutions of  higher education and research  institutions world-wide enable many  study, research and internship  opportunities. On the other  hand we  would like to welcome incoming students and researchers. Please  participate in our university life.

Applied Geoscience

In the Bachelor's programme in Applied Geosciences, the 5th and/or 6th semesters are possible as mobility windows, since modules that can be freely selected are mainly located in this period. ASQ modules (e.g. language courses) can also be completed as part of a study abroad programme.

In the Master's programme in Applied Geosciences, semesters 1 to 3 can be used as mobility windows, as only elective modules are offered and there is the possibility of including two freely selectable modules, which can also be included, for example, in the context of an ERAMUS exchange.

Geography and IAS-GCG

In both Bachelor's degree programmes, there is the possibility to complete a semester abroad. However, it should not be started before the fourth semester. The fifth semester, which is intended for project studies and excursions, is recommended, in which the students have become acquainted with all four subject disciplines of the degree programme and, if they wish, can deepen their knowledge abroad.

In the Master's degree programme International Area Studies - Global Change Geography, the 3rd subject semester should preferably be used as a mobility window.

Student teachers

The world is open to student teachers at the University of Halle. Depending on your interests, you can expand your educational perspectives abroad for a short or even longer period of time. For your school internship, extracurricular pedagogical internship or observation internship, you can choose between institutions within and outside Europe. Even free internships at educational institutions all over the globe can be arranged during and immediately after your studies. Study visits to foreign universities and work as a foreign language assistant round off the offer for student teachers and invite you to discover the world.

The Centre for Teacher Education provides advice on international mobility in teacher training.

• Teaching abroad

Natural Resouces Management

Bachelor's students are enabled by a mobility window in the fifth semester to complete some of their studies at universities abroad. The ASQ modules can also be completed as part of a study abroad programme.

Due to the short duration of studies, no mobility window is provided in the Master's programme Natural Resources Management. However, the university network "Unibund" allows easier access to the universities in Leipzig and Jena, where in particular the "freely selectable modules" can be taken.

How do I apply for an Erasmus scholarship

Erasmus+ 2022 opportunities

An overview of the confirmed partner universities for the 2022-2028 funding period can be found at the bottom of the page. You will also find an indication of how many places are available. In principle, a maximum of 5 funding months are initially set.

Please look through the courses offered by the universities in advance and decide what suits you best. You should also check the required language skills. Courses are eligible for recognition if they are worth at least 5 ECTS credits and are equivalent in content to the courses you can take in your degree programme. At least 15 ECTS credits must be earned abroad.

Application process

As soon as you have a definite first and, ideally, second choice, please let me know by 20 December.

Please include the following information in your informal application:

• Name
• Matriculation number
• Date of birth
• Course of study
• First and second choice of partner university
• Desired semester abroad (winter or summer)

to studienbuero@geo.uni-halle.de.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

There is only one nomination deadline in spring for the entire academic year (winter term and summer term). The quota of places is also valid for the entire year. It does not matter in which semester how many places are taken up, the quota for a year may not be exceeded in total.

You therefore apply for a place in the coming year and can decide for yourself in which semester you use this place.

Nomination

If the number of interested students exceeds the available places, an application procedure will be initiated in January. We will inform the interested students about this by email.

Afterwards we will nominate the selected students to the International Office, which will administratively support the further application process at the partner university and the scholarship matters.

A Learning Agreement is concluded with your partner university. It is advisable to check the eligibility of the selected modules in advance with the respective module coordinators and the chairperson of your examination board.
