Studies Abroad

In the M.A. Roads to Democracies students have the option to study abroad at one of the selected partner universities in Europe. These universities are:

Furthermore studies abroad with a combination of thesis work/research and courses is possible at the following partner universities (recommended during 4th semester):

No tuition fees are charged at the partner institutions during the studies abroad. The study abroad period can be funded through the Erasmus+ program. Application deadline is 15 December. Only students enrolled in the program can apply for a semester abroad. The semester abroad is usually scheduled for the third semester (Winter Semester).

It is recommended to apply for at least three partner universities! This way you have the possibility to move up if you are not selected for your first choice (possilbility to move up for your 2nd or 3rd choice) . If you select only one university and you are not selected, you cannot move up and consequently not realize a study stay abroad. A new application at the next possible date (e.g. remaining places for the summer semester) is then necessary.

After having been admitted for the studies abroad you need to contact the Academic Advisors (see list below) for filling out the Learning Agreement. For further information on application processes please consult the study coordinators. Questions concerning Erasmus-Funding need to be directed to the Erasmus Coordinator. 
In exceptional cases students can conduct their studies abroad during the fourth semester. In this case a confirmation by the thesis supervisor in Siegen is needed. 

30 credits need to be listed within the learning agreement for the exchange at the partner university. A minimum of 4 weeks should be calculated for receiving the required signatures
