Application Requirements

Applications are open to highly qualified degree-seeking students of the University of Freiburg who wish to complete one or two semesters at a partner university abroad (please note: ERASMUS and institution's exchanges as well as doctoral students and so-called free movers who study at a university abroad outside of an exchange agreement are excluded from this funding).

The Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM is linked to an exchange place, i.e. only those who will be studying abroad within the framework of a university partnership (allocation of these places via the International Office) or a departmental partnership (allocation via the respective faculty/department) can apply.

In the selection process, emphasis is placed on above-average academic performance in your field of study as well as extraordinary extracurricular commitment and very good language skills in the language of instruction.

The call for applications for students from international partner universities who wish to study at the University of Freiburg is made separately.

Application Deadlines

The current application deadlines can be found in the current call for applications for outgoing students on the start page. These deadlines are cut-off deadlines. Applications that have not been completed and sent by then cannot be considered.

Please enter the month in which lectures begin at the partner university as the start date (if there are introductory/welcome days, you are welcome to do so from this date) and the end month must be the month in which the examination period at the partner university ends. You can find the respective semester dates on the homepage of the respective university or by contacting the International Office there. If you arrive earlier or stay longer, this does not count towards the scholarship period.
