Please note that a lead time of about 1 to 1 1/2 years may be required before the planned stay abroad.
The complete application documents for an Erasmus+ stay abroad for the respective winter and summer semester must be submitted to us (by e-mail, in person or in Ms. Condado 's mailbox on the 3rd floor of Arnold-Bode-Str. 10) by 14.02. of the respective year at the latest.
1 First of all, you should obtain general information about the Erasmus program and the partner university or universities you are interested in. This can be done, for example, via the Internet (see links in the"Partner universities" section). Please consider whether there are other possible places for your studies abroad in addition to your first desired destination.
2. a prerequisite for admission to the Erasmus program and enrollment at the partner university is the availability of a free place at the desired partner university. Therefore, please first contact Ms. Condado, who can provide you with information about this - also by e-mail.
3. please contact the Institute's Internationalization Officer, Prof. Dr. Sigrid James, to plan your stay abroad.
4. if a study place is available for you, please register by signing the departmental application form. With your signature, you undertake to keep the contact persons in the institute or department informed about your preparation for the stay abroad and the status of the placement procedure after you have been nominated.
You then apply online to the International Office for the Erasmus program.
After you have registered online at the International Office, submit a copy of this registration as well as a current certificate of enrolment and a passport photo to Ms Condado. You will then apply internally for the place, whereby a selection process will only be necessary if there are more applications than places - in any case, an attempt would be made to meet any second or third preference regarding the partner university indicated in the internal application. Otherwise, please enclose an overview of your previous course of study, any experience with International SPIRIT or experience abroad as well as a short letter of motivation with your internal application. On this basis, selected candidates will be nominated by the Erasmus or internationalization officer of the institute(Prof. Dr. Sigrid James) on the specified deadlines.
After your nomination at the partner university, you will receive all important information about your upcoming stay abroad from both the International Office and your partner university. Further formalities may need to be completed or documents submitted to the partner university.
As an Erasmus student, you will conclude aLearning Agreement with your home and host universities to ensure that the courses you have attended and the credits you have earned are recognized. Proceed as follows with the Learning Agreement:
Even before you start your stay abroad, you select possible courses and agree these with the Erasmus representative of the department. By signing the Learning Agreement, you confirm the selected courses. The Erasmus representative at the partner university must then confirm the selected courses by signing them. You must get in touch with the relevant contact person yourself.
Subsequent changes to the Learning Agreement are generally possible and often necessary. They require the consent of all parties involved - even after arrival at the location for the study abroad program.
After completing your studies abroad, the so-called "Transcript of Records" - signed by the Erasmus representative of the host university -, the Letter of Confirmation and the experience report must be submitted to the International Office. Please also submit these documents to the responsible Erasmus officer at the Institute of Social Work so that he or she can arrange for the recognition and assignment of the courses attended and your achievements by the chairperson of the examination board.
