Study abroad:
Exchange programmes for biochemistry and chemistry students as part of the EU's Erasmus+ programme at the Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Ruhr-Universität Bochum
Erasmus agreements are concluded bilaterally between two universities from two EU countries.
Student exchange programmes can last 3-12 months (at least 90 days). The basic study programme must have been completed. Students receive a monthly mobility grant. The amount of the current mobility grant can be found on the website of the International Office (direct link).
Studying abroad
The Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry supports the realisation of stays abroad and recommends a period of study abroad of up to 6 months. The faculty assumes that the stay abroad will not lead to an extension of the study period. The prerequisite for the faculty to support an Erasmus application is a grade point average of 2.5 (documented by the transcript of records). The respective academic achievements are mutually recognised. Once the exchange programme has been completed, a short report must be submitted to the faculty coordinator in all cases. The study programme planned abroad must be agreed with the subject representatives or the examination board before the start of the stay abroad in order to ensure recognition as coursework.
Tuition fees
Tuition fees abroad are waived for ERASMUS students. Multiple funding (for B. Sc., M. Sc. and doctoral programmes) is now possible!
Application
Applications for an Erasmus stay abroad must be submitted to the faculty coordinator in good time. Registration of applications for an academic year (WS / SS) begins in the winter semester of the previous year at the beginning of the lecture period (i.e. applications for the WS 1 year in advance, for the SS 1.5 years in advance). Student applicants for Erasmus are selected by the faculty if there are more applicants than places available. Successful applicants must then complete the relevant forms and applications at the International Office. Registration of students at the International Office Office by the coordinator at the end of March.
Stays abroad are generally possible during the Bachelor's and Master's programmes and during doctoral studies

Stays abroad at other universities
Stays abroad at other universities can of course be carried out outside the Erasmus programme. In this case, however, tuition fees (especially in Anglo-Saxon countries) may be considerably higher. Stays abroad outside the normal study programme can be financed as an Erasmus internship (EU countries, not linked to Erasmus cooperation between universities) or as part of the Promos scholarship programme (worldwide).
