Erasmus+ students (non-degree)

Our Erasmus+ exchange program is an opportunity for students from the European Union and Turkey to spend up to two semesters in Germany. Find out whether this may be an option for you.

Would you like to spend up to one year in the heart of Europe and in one of the most cutting-edge regions of Germany?
The University of Stuttgart welcomes exchange students from our partner universities in Europe and Turkey! Please consider that the Erasmus+ program requires a minimum level of German proficiency (B1).

Are you an Erasmus+ student?

If the following criteria apply to you, then you are:

  • You want to study for one or two semesters at the University of Stuttgart.
  • You can prove a German proficiency of B1 or above.

You also need to be officially nominated by your home university. We are looking forward to your application!

After you have uploaded your complete documents, they will be sent automatically to your academic Erasmus advisor who will sign the learning agreement. Please upload the final learning agreement (signed by you, your home university and the academic Erasmus advisor at the University of Stuttgart) to your Mobility-Online account and send it to the International Office.

Incoming students, who would like to write a Bachelor or Master thesis in the field of Engineering at our university, are recommended to apply for a 1-year exchange (2 semesters):

  • 1st semester: You will take courses and look independently for a thesis topic and a supervisor during the exchange semester.
  • 2nd semester: You may write the thesis, if you have found a thesis topic and a supervisor. If not you will be able to take courses at our university instead or write the thesis at e.g. your home institution.

You will have to find a supervisor for your thesis yourself. The International Office and the academic Erasmus+ advisor are not able to assist in finding a suitable thesis topic and supervisor. You can only be enrolled as a student at the University of Stuttgart after we have received a confirmation from your thesis supervisor in Stuttgart.

Deadlines:

June 1 (for the following winter semester), December 1 (for the following summer semester)

After completing your registration on the Mobility-Online platform, you can apply for admission as a non-degree program student via our web-based application system C@MPUS.

The C@MPUS portal will be open as of beginning of May/November.

To ensure a successful application process, we strongly recommend that you follow our C@MPUS guideline, which can be found in your download area in Mobility Online.

Follow the instructions given and upload:

  • Transcript of records
  • Higher education entrance qualification (e. g. baccalauréat, high school diploma etc.)

If your online application is completed correctly by the given deadline, you will be able to download your letter of admission (Zulassungsbescheid) on the C@MPUS platform no later than four weeks after the deadline.

Pre-departure information
Once you have downloaded your letter of admission, please read our Pre-departure information. It covers all the important information you need to get ready, including how to get health insurance, set up a bank account and enroll once you are here.
