Direct exchange – FAUexchange

As well as the various partnerships included in the Erasmus+ program, FAU also runs direct exchange programs with numerous universities (predominantly) overseas. These programs offer students from FAU the opportunity to spend one to two semesters on an exchange.

Benefits of a direct exchange

  • Exemption from tuition fees at the host university (exceptions possible)
  • Supervision from both home and host university

Responsibility for direct exchange programs at FAU

FAU offers a wide and varied range of direct exchange contracts. The cooperation agreements are either concluded at the central FAU level, i.e. applicable across the university, or between various individual departments or institutions at FAU and the relevant level at the partner university abroad. This means that different offices at FAU are responsible for supervision and applications, including deadlines and requirements, for the various direct exchange partnerships at FAU.

Some partnerships are available to all students at FAU, provided the required degree program can be studied at the host university. The places for these partnerships are advertised through the FAUexchange program. Please refer to the FAUexchange partner universities website and our interactive world map for an overview of the available partnerships. We (International Affairs) are also responsible for processing applications for FAUexchange.

In the direct exchange program, each faculty has its own contracts that are only available to students from their faculty. Further information is available on the relevant websites of the International Office at your faculty:

    • Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology
    • Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law:
      • School of Law
      • School of Business, Economics and Society
    • Faculty of Medicine
    • Faculty of Sciences
    • Faculty of Engineering

For partnerships at the level of your department, institute or chair, please also consult the websites of the relevant organizational unit.
