As an exchange student, you can study in Lower Saxony for one or more semesters to earn credit points towards a degree at your home university.
Student exchange is usually organised between two partner universities or through an exchange programme such as Erasmus+.
Exchange students have many advantages, such as simplified entry conditions or financial relief. The application process, however, is different from the one for a full degree in Lower Saxony: Most importantly, you will have to apply for a place in an exchange programme at your home university first, instead of applying to a university in Lower Saxony directly.
If you are interested in participating in an exchange programme, please contact your home university or the National Agency of your country for more information.
A full degree or an exchange semester abroad are not an option, but you would still like to benefit from the excellent university education in Lower Saxony? A short-term stay could be just the thing for you! Whether language course, specialised course or summer school – find the right programme in the DAAD Language and Short Course Database, or ask the International Office of your university of choice about your options.
