Should you wish to take part in a programme of the University of Wismar as an ERASMUS or international exchange student, the International Office of your home university is your first port of call. There, you will obtain all information required in order to apply for an exchange programme. All of the necessary forms and documents are submitted to your own university as the responsible members of staff initially decide on nominating you for an exchange programme at the University of Wismar. Only then will your university send your documents to us.

Regardless of the subject of the degree course you wish to study with us, it is important to file your application in good time. The closing dates for applications for exchange programmes vary from university to university.

Therefore, please check the deadlines applicable at your university.
The individual lectures and seminars for which you wish to register can be determined on the same day of your arrival at our University. The same applies to the International Classes and the German Course.

If you are interested in attending the International Class, please send an email to Ms Narangerel Tsendbaatar nara@hs-wismar.de
