Through Erasmus+, you have the opportunity to study within Europe for up to two semesters. You don't have to pay study fees at the partner university and you will get additional financial support.
See the world with TUMexchange
If you are interested in a stay outside of Europe, TUMexchange is the right program for you. The application process starts at the beginning of the winter semester.
