Get ready for your overseas adventure!

There are various sponsor programmes to help you finance studying or doing an internship abroad. However, there is more to organising a trip abroad as part of your degree than just financial considerations.

First, ask yourself the following questions:

Do you want to study abroad, i.e. complete study modules at a partner institute, or would you rather work on a project, write an academic thesis, or do an internship (while writing a thesis)?
What language skills do you have?
Which countries would you consider traveling to?
When and for how long do you want to go abroad (during your master’s programme/bachelor’s programme/after graduating)?

Don’t forget to:

start your preparations on time, i.e. at least a year before you plan to start your trip.
gather information, especially about costs and financial options.
use the time before the trip to hone your language skills.
plan enough time and perservere in your preparations.
