The Freie Universität has partnerships with about 170 universities worldwide. Students who are interested in spending a semester or year abroad at one of these partner universities can apply for one of the following direct exchange programs. During the application process, a ranking of your preferred universities within each regional program can be made in the application form (up to ten preferences within a regional program are possible).

It is possible to apply for up to three different regional programs in one academic year.

Applications for the Erasmus+ worldwide program have the same deadlines and the same application procedure as applications for the direct exchange program.

Special information for applicants with Russian and Belarusian citizenship

Please note that application deadlines for the DAAD scholarship are already in September for some regions: Jahresstipendien für Studienaufenthalte im Ausland - DAAD - Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst
