Erasmus+ is THE European Union's exchange programme and has been promoting European exchanges for students, professors, and university staff since 1987. The current  runs from 2021-2027 and focuses on sustainability, digitalisation, and social participation.  

HSBA participates in the programme track KA131 "Mobility of Individuals", which can be a semester abroad (SMS) or an internship abroad (SMP) for students. 

The prerequisite is an existing partnership between HSBA and the university abroad. A semester abroad must last at least three months and an internship abroad at least two months for Erasmus+ funding to apply. 

There are some advantages studying abroad at an Erasmus+ partner:

Financial advantages

• Tuition fee waiver, no admin fees, no language tests at the host institution
• Financial support (part scholoarship) when spending a minimum of three months studying abroad. The amount of funding depends on the destination country

• free of charge language course via the EU Academy

Networking

In addition to the European Erasmus+ partnerships, HSBA maintains partnerships with higher education institutions outside Europe. These include, for example, partners in Asia and North and South America. The network is regularly reviewed and expanded as needed. 

A semester at a university in the partnership network has the following advantages:

You have not found what you're looking for in our partner institutions? Then there is the option of going abroad as a Free Mover and finding a suitable place of study yourself.

Please note: 

• Usually, the universities charge tuition fees, which can vary in amount (as in the USA, for example). 
• Some countries do not offer Free Mover options at all
• Possibly, the language confirmation for English from the HSBA International Office will not be recognised and an official language certificate (e.g. TOEFL or EILTS for English) must be submitted. 
• The application deadline of 15.03. for places at partner universities does NOT apply here. The deadlines of the respective university apply. 
• Have the possible credit transfer from abroad checked at an early stage. See "Step 4: Credit Transfer from abroad". 
• Not every university/institution abroad is recognised as a university in Germany. Please contact the International Office if you have selected a university and are unsure about . 
• Experience reports from former HSBA outgoings can be found in the Teams channel Outgoings
• Financing options are listed in the section "Financing". 

The HSBA International Office will of course support you in planning and realising the mobility. 

Would you like to know what your company's offices in Asia or the USA look like? You always wanted to test your foreign language skills and work in international teams abroad?

Talk to your company if there is an opportunity to work abroad for a while. You can plan your time abroad individually, avoid overlapping with your HSBA semester, and your company will not lose any working time.

Other advantages for you could be that you combine vacation days with the assignment, make new international friends and receive a small grant through the Erasmus+ programme (if you work in a European country).

The module "Study Trip" is an important part of the curriculum in many of the degree programmes at HSBA. The students choose a topic, which is mostly dealt with intensively in a foreign country (there are a few destinations within Germany each year, too) during one week. Company visits, visits to foreign universities and an exciting social programme make this week an unforgettable experience.

The EU Commission supports stays abroad with financial means through the National Agency DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service e.V.).

Funding is possible for minimum stays of three months (study mobility) at a European partner institution and two months (internship mobility) in a European company.

The amount of financial support is based on the cost of living scaled according to three country categories published by the DAAD. Information on this and required documents to be filled out by students and hosts will be provided by the HSBA International Office in due time and are available from the Outgoings Team.
