- Kann ich im Rahmen des Erasmusprogrammes im Ausland studieren, wenn ich nicht aus der EU komme und keine deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit habe?
Ja, auch Studierende aus Drittländern können wir seit dem laufenden akademischen Jahr über Erasmus fördern.
- Benötige ich FCE oder TOEFL Sprachdiplom für die Teilnahme am Erasmusprogramm?
Wenn du im Rahmen des Erasmus-Programms an eine unserer Partnerhochschulen geht, benötigst du kein Sprachdiplom. Die Sprachenkenntnisse des Ziellandes müssen im Zentrum für Sprachen und Interkulturelle Kompetenzen nachgewiesen werden.
- Muss ich unbedingt erworbene 90 credits(BA) oder 30 Credits (MA) zur Bewerbungsfrist vorweisen können?
Wichtig ist es, dass man die vorausgesetzte Creditsanzahl vorweisen kann, bevor man ins Ausland geht. Zur Bewerbungsfrist müssen die Credits nicht unbedingt vollständig nachgewiesen werden.
- Muss ich im Rahmen des Erasmusprogrammes die Studiengebühren der Partneruniversität bezahlen?
Nein. Das Studium an unseren Partneruniversitäten ist gebührenfrei. Gleichzeitig aber muss man an der FH Kiel in der Zeit des Auslandsstudiums eingeschrieben sein und den Semesterbeitrag bezahlen. Ein Teil davon kann erstattet werden. (Siehe bitte den Artikel “Erstattung des Semesterbeitrages“).
MÄLARDAN UNIVERSITY, VÄSTERAS IN SCHWEDEN
- Is there some minimum English language requirements?
no formal minimum requirement
- What are the steps to follow?
Step 1: apply for exchange at the international office
Step 2: Find the courses that you want to take when abroad. Make sure that they fit into the overall curriculum of the program that you are currently studying at the FH Kiel. Also make sure that it is not a repeat subject. It needs to be within your field of study but a new subject that you have not taken before. If it does not fulfill these two requirements, the FH Kiel cannot approve the course and you will not get ECTS for the course.
Step 3: get the courses approved by Rune Gulev and get his approval for going abroad.
Step 4: apply for exchange at the host university
