Dear students of the BA Cultural Studies and the MA Transcultural Studies,

As the end of the year approaches, so does the time to plan a potential semester abroad in the coming academic year. Whether you would like to spend a semester at one of our European partner universities through the ERASMUS programme, or prefer to study at a university of your choice worldwide, now is the perfect moment to gather information.

On 15 January 2026, the International Office will open the digital application portal mobility-online. You can submit your application there until 15 February 2026.

To help you prepare, we warmly invite you to our Zoom information session on Friday, 12 December, from 12:00–14:00. In this session, we will provide information on:

• the most important steps in preparing for a stay abroad
• selecting a suitable partner university
• the application process

In addition, 2–3 students will share their personal experiences abroad and offer practical tips. Short reports are planned on stays in:

• Essex, United Kingdom
• Prague, Czech Republic
• Istanbul, Turkey
• Windhoek, Namibia
