Erasmus+ Programme

Erasmus+ Programme

If you want to come to the University of Koblenz from a European university, your exchange will take place within the framework of the ERASMUS+ programme of the European Union. The selection of exchange students is made by the ERASMUS+ coordinator at your home university. If you have been selected, please send the application for admission to the International Relations Office of the University of Koblenz.

Enrolment is done after your arrival at the Student Registrar's Office. When enrolling, you must present proof of health insurance (European Health Insurance Card) and proof of payment of the semester fee. The semester fee is not a tuition fee.

As a participant in the ERASMUS+ programme, you will receive a Letter of Confirmation at the end of your studies with details of the duration of your stay as well as a Transcript of Records with the final grades of your studies.

Accomodation

Admission to studies does not automatically mean that a room has been arranged. The International Relations Office of the University of Koblenz works together with the student dormitories and supports exchange students in obtaining a place in the dormitory.

The decision about the allocation of places is made by the university domitories on its own responsibility.
