Studying Abroad in Europe
Thanks to Erasmus+ and the Swiss-European Mobility Program (SEMP), both funded by the European Union, you have the opportunity to study at a partner university in Europe or Switzerland. Discover the cultures and education systems of our European neighbors, improve your language skills, and expand your professional expertise!
You will not have to pay tuition fees at our partner universities. In addition, both programs offer financial support in the form of a partial scholarship. For more information, visit the TUM Global & Alumni Office pages under “To-dos for the Erasmus grant”.
Requirements for Participation
To apply for studies abroad under Erasmus+ or SEMP, you must meet the following requirements:
- Enrollment: You are enrolled in a degree program at the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT).
- Progress of studies: You have successfully completed your first year of study (if applying as a bachelor's student).
- Partner university: You can only apply for a stay at a partner university with which your subject area at the CIT has an exchange agreement.
- Language skills: At the start of your studies abroad, you have the required proficiency in the language of instruction.
Application
Applications for studies abroad during the 2026/27 academic year (winter and/or summer semester) open on 1 December 2025 and close on 13 January 2026 at 12:00 noon.

Travel Reports
For almost every destination, you can find post-travel reports from former TUM students who have studied abroad in the Online Database of all TUM partner universities. You can filter by program, degree, and subject area. Once you have selected a university, you can find detailed reports under the “Travel Reports” tab, as well as some of the students' contact details in order to get in touch with them if you have any questions.
