Preparing your stay abroad

Preparation to study abroad

Leave of Absence

It is possible to take a leave of absence during your studies abroad. Here you will find an overview of the conditions and procedure.

(Online) Learning Agreement

Students who are studying abroad within the framework of ERASMUS must prepare a Learning Agreement with the contact person at their faculty at Bauhaus-Universität and the partner university.

Green Travel

Sustainable travel pays off in many ways! Why not plan your journey to the partner university using a sustainable means of transport?

A trip abroad is usually also accompanied by getting to know a different culture. Prepare yourself for the opportunities and challenges this entails in the best possible way in workshops. Our "Intercultural Competence" project supports you in this.

Language

Language skills are a basic requirement for your academic success and integration in the host country. It is best to take an appropriate language course in Weimar before your trip. Here you will find all courses and further offers.

Accommodation

Where should I actually live abroad? And what do I do with my apartment or room in Weimar? You should take care of the "housing question" as early as possible. Here you will find some tips on this.

Insurance

Health insurance is compulsory in most countries. It is therefore absolutely crucial that you check your existing insurance coverage and whether you’ll need to add complementary cover before you go abroad.

Visa

Residence rights for foreigners – and therefore also for visiting students – vary depending on the country. See the DAAD website for up-to-date information.

Safety Abroad
