Going abroad - opportunities
Would you like to spend one or more semesters abroad to study, further your education and gain new experiences?
There are various ways for students to spend some time abroad. Firstly, you could spend a semester abroad. You study at a university abroad and earn regular ECTS points there, which are then partially or fully recognized towards your studies at the Folkwang University of the Arts. The semester abroad should not extend your period of study. You can look for a university abroad to apply to yourself (free mover) or choose one of our partner universities. This type of stay abroad is usually financially supported.
Another option is to organize your stay abroad independently of your studies, e.g. as an internship abroad; the lecture-free period is often ideal for this. If you have any questions about planning and carrying out a stay abroad, please contact the International Office. We will be happy to support you and help you with questions about authorities, applications, deadlines, requirements and funding for studying abroad.
