Study Abroad and Double Degrees
Consider studying abroad for a semester or longer? No problem, thanks to our numerous contacts and agreements with foreign universities. In the Erasmus program alone, the faculty partners currently with more than 60 universities. In addition, there are contacts at the level of the faculty and the TU Dresden with universities from virtually all parts of the world.
Learning agreements and the flexible electives area make the recognition of examinations abroad simple. Financial support is available as well. In addition to the PROMOS scholarships awarded at university level, the Prof. Endriss Award sponsors specifically students of the Faculty of Business and Economics staying abroad.
Particularly attractive are the double degree programs the faculty runs with the Università degli studi di Trento, Università degli studi di Pavia, and the EM Strasbourg Business School respectively. In all three programs, you spend one year at the foreign university and earn 60 credit points, which may include the Master's Thesis. You will then receive a Master's degree from TU Dresden and the partner university.
Please find more detailed information on stays abroad on the international pages.
