Various exchange programmes are available if you would like to spend a semester abroad. If you spend a semester abroad at one of our partner universities, you can choose modules primarily from their business and economics programmes. If you are interested in taking modules from other faculties, such as Computer Science, you can contact the relevant programme coordinators to ask if this is possible. However, in the Erasmus+ programme, it is important that at least 60 per cent of the modules are completed at the Faculty of Business and Economics. If you take a module during your semester abroad that largely corresponds to a module in Göttingen in terms of its content and scope, it may be recognised on a one-to-one basis. Modules completed during your semester abroad may also be recognised as part of the compulsory or elective components of your degree programme, provided they are relevant to your subject. Once you have chosen the modules you wish to take during your semester abroad, you can submit a recognition application to the Faculty's Study Abroad Advisory Service. You will then receive feedback on how your chosen courses can be recognised. This gives you the opportunity to adjust your course selection if necessary. You can also check the FlexStat recognition database to see which courses have already been recognised. Most partner universities offer the option of studying in English. Typically, at least some courses for international exchange students are taught in English. However, there are also universities where you can only study in the local language. This is primarily the case in Latin America and South America, as well as at some universities in Italy, Spain and France. In these cases, you will always need a suitable language certificate. However, the requirements vary from country to country. Information on the requirements you need to fulfil to study at your chosen university can be found on the respective programme websites.
