study abroad

The best-known form of studying abroad for one to two semesters is realized with the help of the ERASMUS+ program. Within the framework of this EU program, students are sent to partner universities of the EAH Jena. You can find more information about this under Erasmus+.

There is also the possibility to participate in exchange programs with international partner universities. You can find more information and overviews under partner universities. Information events are regularly held in the faculties. As tuition fees are usually waived or reduced in exchange programmes, exchange numbers vary from year to year and selection competitions are held in particularly sought-after exchange programmes. Often there must also be incoming students at the EAH in order to be allowed to send outgoing students to partner universities (reciprocity).

Due to current events and the security situation in many countries of the world, the university management would like to centrally register all students of the university who are carrying out a study-related stay abroad (study, internship, language course, etc.) in the future. This registration is voluntary on the part of the students. The aim of this measure is to be able to inform or react in an emergency. After the return the entries will be deleted. We kindly ask you to fill in the form for recording the data.

The DAAD has summarized safety instructions here.

In connection with the Covid 19 pandemic, please inform yourself in good time before travelling on the website of the Federal Foreign Office about the travel and safety advice and regulations of the country you are travelling to. Please take travel warnings seriously.

German nationals are advised to register in the "Elefand" crisis precaution list of the Federal Foreign Office, irrespective of the country and the duration of their stay abroad, and to deregister when they leave the country. All information from the Federal Foreign Office for your safe journey abroad is available in a free app.
