Erasmus "Restplätze"
You can also go abroad through open Erasmus places of other faculties ("Restplätze"). Here is an overview of all Erasmus partnerships at the University of Freiburg. Please note that deadlines, terms, and conditions vary between the departments. Some partnerships only allow you to take courses in a specific discipline, others are open. If you have questions, please contact the Erasmus coordinator of the particular faculty or department.
University of Freiburg Global Exchange
The Global Exchange Programs are administered by the International Office and are open to all students of the University of Freiburg. Deadlines vary and some are up to one year in advance. For more information on destinations, scholarships and funding, and on applying, please see the International Office website.
Free Mover
You can also go to any university you like as a free mover. This option gives you a lot of freedom but it also means that you are responsible for all organization and administration yourself and that you will have to pay tuition fees. The International Office offers advising for students who are interested in studying abroad as free movers.
