Erasmus study abroad experiences, student exchanges under a partnership/student exchange agreement (incl. the Coimbra Group Student Exchange Network and the Swiss European Mobility Programme), holders of scholarships or grants provided by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Fulbright, FGAC; please enquire about other programmes.

If your home university does not have a partnership agreement with the University of Würzburg and you have not been selected for a scholarship programme, under certain conditions it is possible to spend an exchange semester at the University of Würzburg as a so-called freemover.

You will have to apply directly to your home university/the scholarship or grant sponsor.

If you are selected for participation, your home university/sponsor* will nominate you to us.

Deadlines for nominations to the University of Würzburg:

30 April for winter intake
