Erasmus+
Outgoing
Ein Erasmus+-Stipendium ermöglicht einen Erasmusaufenthalt von 6-12 Monaten in jedem Zyklus (Das Bachelorstudium und das Masterstudium sind jeweils ein Zyklus) an einer unserer Partneruniversitäten. Dies sind derzeit:
- VU University Amsterdam (Amsterdam, Niederlande)
- Uppsala Universitet (Uppsala, Schweden)
- The Arctic University of Norway (Tromsø, Norwegen)
- University of Latvia (Riga, Lettland)
- University of Bucharest (Bukarest, Rumänien)
- University of Iceland (Reyjkjavik, Island)
Das Stipendium gewährleistet dabei, dass keine Studiengebühren an der Heimat- oder der Gastuniversität gezahlt werden müssen. Weiterhin wird ein kleiner monatlicher Zuschuss gezahlt, um die erhöhten Lebenserhaltungskosten auszugleichen. In der Vorbereitung auf den Auslandsaufenthalt stellen wir sicher, dass die im Ausland absolvierten Prüfungen nach der Rückkehr für das Studium in Innsbruck anerkannt werden. Und neben diesen harten Fakten ist ein Erasmussemester eine tolle Erfahrung, bei der man eine neue Kultur erfahren, seine Sprache verbessern, neue Leute kennenlernen und sich ganz persönlich weiterentwickeln kann.
Ein Erasmussemester ist möglich, sobald zum Zeitpunkt des Antritts mindestens das erste Jahr des Grundstudiums erfolgreich absolviert wurde. Wir empfehlen allerdings das 5 und 6 Fachsemester im Bachelorstudium und/oder ein beliebiges Fachsemester im Masterstudium als ideale Mobilitätsfenster.
Weiterhin werden entsprechende Sprachkenntnisse vorausgesetzt, damit der Unterricht auch verfolgt werden kann. In zahlreichen Universitäten finden Kurse zumindest zum Teil in englischer Sprache statt.
Weitere Partner, Netzwerke und Fördermöglichkeiten
Falls das Wunschziel nicht in der Liste der Partneruniversitäten dabei ist oder sich auf einem anderen Kontinent befindet, ist es gut möglich, dass es trotzdem Möglichkeiten einer Förderung über anderweitige Netzwerke oder Länderzentren gibt. Auch Praktika können im Rahmen von Erasmus+ oder anderen Programmen bezuschusst werden. Das International Relations Office bietet hier eine erste Anlaufstelle, bei der man sich gezielt informieren kann.

Incoming
Welcome! Great that you are interested in an Erasmus+ exchange with the University of Innsbruck. We hope that our website already gave you a first overview and impression about student life here at our university. The potential courses that you can select depend on your interest but also on your German language skills:
Bachelor of Science (Term 1-6)
All lectures in the first three years will be taught, without exception, in German. A very good knowledge of the German language is essential to participate in these classes. It is not mandatory, but we recommend participating in all courses of a module of your choice.
Full course catalog at UIBK (Attention: there is a new version of the Bachelor curriculum (2018), classes of older curriculum versions will no longer be available)
Most courses at the Master level can be taught in English in case Erasmus+ students participate. An overview of these courses is given in the table below. For most courses, a good knowledge in Earth Sciences (BSc level) is required. It is not mandatory, but we recommend participating in all courses of a module of your choice. Attention: many courses are only provided every two years (see table below), so please make sure to incorporate this info in your planning. Please inform the Earth’s science Erasmus+ representative Dr. Jasper Moernaut (Jasper.Moernaut@uibk.ac.at) at least 2 months before the start of the first lecture, if you plan to attend modules and/or courses in English language, so the respective teachers can prepare for this.
Details are also given in the course catalog. Attention: there is a new version of the Master curriculum (2021), classes of older curriculum versions will no longer be available.
