Further exchange opportunities

In addition to the Erasmus programme, many other foundations offer the possibility of studying abroad. To apply to the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), please refer to their website or enquire information at the relevant contact point at the FU Berlin.

The FU Berlin also offers the PROMOS programme. The programme offers students and doctoral candidates the opportunity to receive financial support if their stay abroad does not fit into any of the programmes offered by the DAAD or Erasmus.

The FU Berlin offers numerous opportunities to gain international experience. Students can use the FU Berlin database to search for various exchange opportunities. You can find the database here (in German).
