List of partner universities

• Anytime from the first semester of your studies, but usually 4th, 5th, 6th semester
• During the Master's program

Good foreign language skills must be proven when applying. The specific requirements are determined by the respective scholarship or exchange program as well as by the host universities.

All exchange programs include a learning agreement. This includes the choice of courses at the host university and agrees on the subsequent recognition of foreign academic achievements. In this case, a stay abroad does not extend the regular duration of study.

If you do not pass, the exam can be repeated at the host university according to its regulations. Alternatively an equivalent exam can be taken at the Hochschule Merseburg.

• DAAD scholarships: The DAAD offers scholarships to students of all subjects who would like to attend a university abroad.
• Erasmus+: If you want to study at a partner university in a European country, you can apply for the Erasmus+ program.
• DAAD-PROMOS: For shorter stays outside Europe of up to six months, the DAAD program PROMOS is a good choice.
• HAW.International: Study semesters, internships abroad and participation in congress and trade fair trips
• BAföG abroad: Studying abroad in the EU can be fully supported by BAföG abroad.
• Bildungskredit (Education loan): Regardless of the income of your parents, you can apply for the Bildungskredit from the federal government.

During your stay abroad, you are not insured by Hochschule Merseburg. You are responsible for your own insurance coverage. However, some host universities offer insurance coverage.

This is possible in principle. The thesis topic and advising must be coordinated in advance between Hochschule Merseburg and the host university.

Former exchange students have written reports about their experiences. These can be viewed in the International Office or on our website.

Application deadlines and requirements vary depending on the program. Please check our pages for more information.

You can obtain an International Student ID Card (ISIC) from the following organizations:

• International Student Identity Card
• Social counselling of the Studentenwerk Halle

With the ISIC, you get discounts on flights, transportation, leisure activities and much more.
