ERASMUS: Studying in Europe

ERASMUS program at the Institute for Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences

In order to promote the international mobility of students, bilateral ERASMUS agreements have been concluded with various universities. In addition to one to a maximum of two semesters abroad, a stay abroad in the form of an internship is also possible. The timing is up to the student depending on their personal planning. However, a higher semester is recommended. Students receive support for study visits abroad from the MLU International Office, whereby the ERASMUS cooperation partners are presented once a year at an information event.

Credits earned abroad can be recognized, but completion of the course within the standard period of study cannot be guaranteed. One reason for this is that the number of credit points earned during a semester abroad is often lower than those earned during regular studies. On the other hand, lecture times at foreign universities sometimes differ from those in Germany, so that regular examination times, for example, cannot always be taken. In order to minimize the loss of time for ERASMUS students, attempts are made to enable them to take regular examinations at the respective exchange university. Thanks to the bilateral cooperation between MLU and the ERASMUS partners, the Master's thesis can also be completed at foreign institutes. The basis for student mobility is MLU's Internationalization Strategy.
