Please also note the publication of the presentation for the info session, as well as any ADDITIONAL information that may be issued right up until shortly before the application deadline.

The Department of Tourism has around 30–35 partner universities across Europe.

Information on term dates and reports (at the very bottom)

In the testimonials, you’ll find valuable tips and practical advice – and perhaps even a few pointers to help you decide on your dream destination for your own adventure abroad?

Academic

Students must meet the examination requirements set out in the study and examination regulations (SPO) (see course timetable, which includes information on progression restrictions and modules already undertaken). SPECIFICALLY:

  • 70 ECTS at the start of the semester abroad (applications with fewer credits are accepted)
  • Modules TR1.3 Introduction to Tourism and MS1.6 Empirical Research must have been taken for the first time by the end of the second academic semester

Students with more than three outstanding modules may submit an application, but will be given lower priority – and only after consulting the International Office of the Department of Tourism in person – when places are allocated.


Linguistically

Students must have at least a good command of the respective national or teaching language in order to study successfully abroad.

If you are planning to study abroad in a French- or Spanish-speaking country, it is strongly recommended that you attend a language course during the semester break prior to your term abroad.

Please ensure that you meet the required language level (in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: A1, A2, B1, etc.) and, where applicable, provide a language test or certificate in the teaching language (see the partner language overview) as part of your application.

The Dept 13 language courses are organised as follows (example: Spanish; the same applies to Italian and French; for details, see the Dept 13 AW course catalogue):

  • Spanish I > Level A1
  • Language II > Level A2 (exceptions: Chinese II, Japanese II, Russian II > Level A2.1)
  • Language III > Level B1 (exceptions: Chinese III, Japanese III, Russian III > Level A2.2)
  • Span IV > Level B2

Providing false information in their application may, amongst other things, result in the HM rejecting the student’s application for an exchange place.

The language overview provides you with an overview of the required language level and, where applicable, the language proficiency evidence needed for your subsequent application to the partner university (once a place has been allocated and you have been nominated by the International Office of Dept 14).


Compulsory attendance at the information event

Attendance at the Erasmus+ information session (dates) organised by the International Office of the Department of Tourism is a prerequisite for submitting an application for an exchange place.
