Programme for the promotion of internationalisation

Under the Promotion of Internationalisation ('Förderung der Internationalisierung') funding programme, the University provides travel grants to German students enrolled at the University for internships abroad.
The travel grant is also available to international students who have to complete a compulsory internship abroad. For details on such stays, check the examination and study regulations for your degree programme.

Only the actual travel costs incurred (flight tickets, airport transfer) are eligible for funding:

up to 1,000 euros outside Europe

There are four application deadlines per year. The application has to be submitted before the start of the internship.
