When you are planning to do a semester abroad, there is a wide array of things to be considered. Apart from consulting our colleagues, we strongly recommend you to also have a look at the page of the international office.

Applications
Informations about the international bilateral student exchange TUDworldwide can be found here.
Detailed information on the application process for ERASMUS-exchanges are presented here. Please note that the application deadline in this context will always be March 15th.
Recognition of Academic Achievements
Students can get credits for academic achievements that they have completed abroad. The examination board of the respective course of study decides on the crediting. The forms for the application for crediting can be found on the website of the examination office.
BAföG
Students can apply for BAföG for their studies abroad. A specific BAföG office is responsible for each partner country, so the application is usually not made through the Studierendenwerk Dresden. Further information on the application and on the BAföG office responsible for your host university can be found here.
Mobility Scholarship
The EU provides scholarships, so-called mobility grants, for ERASMUS study places. The amount of the scholarships varies from year to year and usually amounts to at least €150,-- /month.
The scholarship is not paid to the students in one amount but in two installments. In the first installment, 70% of the total grant are initially transferred, provided that a fully completed and signed Learning Agreement is available. Immediately after the end of the stay abroad, a certificate of study from the host university and a progress report must be submitted, on the basis of which the final payment is made.
For the payment of the mobility allowance, a declaration of acceptance must be completed, which is available online from the International Office.
