‘International Activities’ include short-term academic mobility (SAP, BIP, Summer/Winter School and others, including online formats) or a semester abroad (if provided for in the degree programme).

Please note: International courses take place independently of the FHV timetable. Therefore, check your own timetable to see whether you are able to attend and clarify your absence from curricular events in the degree programme. If you have any questions, please contact the designated colleagues.

Information on the organisation of international activities is available from the International Office.

‘Course selection’ in A5: Select “International activities” in November for the following summer semester and in June for the following winter semester.

Application: Depends on the programme you have selected. Please note that some short-term academic mobilities may be accepted or cancelled at short notice.

‘Requests’ for recognition, usually in A5: With your certificate, you submit a request for recognition of the ECTS you have completed as an international activity, which your degree programme director will process. Detailed information will be made available to you once your participation is confirmed.
