Studying Abroad
Are you interested in studying abroad?
Spending a semester or even a whole year abroad during your studies in Mathematics is certainly a valuable asset! The experience of teaching, learning and living in another country is surely of paramount importance. However, your staying abroad must be well prepared, since there are some bureaucratic and financial processes to overcome. You can quickly find here the main information about these procedures.
You should first ask for an appointment with the Service Centre International Affairs of the University of Würzburg.

On the website of the Service Centre International Affairs you will find various information about studying abroad: preparations, exchange programs, financial support (e.g. Auslands-Bafög) and internship. It also provides useful addresses for the logistic and it can assist you during the translation process. For additional information look to their info brochure (May 2018)
The Erasmus program coordinators of Mathematics are Dr. Jens Jordan and Prof. Dr. Jörn Steuding and they have summarized addition information on this webpage.

In addition to the Erasmus program, there are also other opportunities to travel abroad, for example through scholarships from the DAAD. These scholarships are of particular attention for students interested to visit non-European countries.
