International Exchange Programs: Call for Applications for 2025/26

With the beginning of the winter semester 2024/25, there is a new call for applications for semesters or years abroad via the exchange programs of Ruhr University Bochum during the academic year 2025/26 (i.e. winter semester 2025/26 and/or summer semester 2026). As part of the exchange programs, tuition fees will be waived.

Within Europe

Ruhr University Bochum students who would like to stay in Europe may apply for the ERASMUS program via their faculty or department. Applications have to be submitted to the ERASMUS departmental coordinator, who will determine which documents have to be handed in by which deadlines. Accordingly, required application documents and deadlines may vary depending on the faculty or department. Generally, the ERASMUS deadlines for the academic year 2025/26, i.e. winter semester 2025/26 and/or summer semester 2026, end between November 2024 and February 2025.

Outside of Europe

Students interested in spending a semester or year abroad outside of Europe may apply for a place at one of the partner universities of Ruhr University Bochum via the International Office. For places at partner universities in the USA through the MAUI Utrecht Network Exchange Program, in Australia through the AEN Utrecht Network Exchange Program, or at institutions in France, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan applications have to be handed in by 1 December 2024, 11:59 pm.

Study abroad for a semester or a year with the Erasmus exchange and scholarship programme. Exchange opportunities are possible both in Europe and worldwide.

Study abroad with either one of our interdisciplinary or university-wide exchange programmes in collaboration with partner universities worldwide.
