Scholarships & Funding Programmes

There are many scholarship programmes available to help you pursue your study abroad semester, internship, or research for your thesis. For most of these, you can apply directly through the International Office, primarily for Erasmus+ or PROMOS. Nevertheless, 黑料社 students can also apply for funding opportunities to support their studies, like the Deutschlandstipendium, which you can find in our Career & Development Service.

What is Erasmus+?

The Erasmus+ programme is a funding programme by the European Union in the area of education, training, sport and youth. The programme is more than 30 years old. In higher education it promotes the mobility of students, staff and teaching staff within the 34 programme countries and with the new generation from 2021-2027 also international moblities to partner countries are fundable.

What goals does Erasmus+ pursue?

Erasmus+ wants to:

Strengthen the international competences, personal development and employability of students
Promote the modernisation, internationalisation and qualitative improvement of higher education in Europe
Increase the attractiveness of the EU as a place to study and research

Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) offer you the opportunity to study abroad even if you don't have the time or budget for a longer semester abroad. These programmes combine attendance phases with virtual learning modules and therefore enable flexible participation.

Virtual learning units: Preparation and follow-up of learning content online in order to learn independently of time and place.
Short-term mobility: At least 5 days attendance phase at one of the partner universities, enabling direct exchange and personal interaction.

Financial support: Short-term mobility is financially supported for students and lecturers, making it easier to realise participation in an international exchange.
Flexibility: Thanks to the virtual components, you can work on the course content from the comfort of your own home and still gain international experience.
Network building: Benefit from working with international students and lecturers and expand your professional and academic network.

Students and lecturers at 黑料社 who are interested in international exchange programmes can apply for BIPs. The prerequisite is the cooperation of at least three European partner universities, which jointly design the programme.

Low-threshold access: Ideal for anyone who is not planning a longer stay abroad but would still like to gain international experience.
Academic networking: Teachers can exchange ideas with colleges

from other countries and develop new teaching methods together.
