Studying Abroad - IfH Contacts

If you are interested in studying abroad or in writing e.g. a diploma thesis in a foreign country we will gladly give you some advice. We suggest you stop by the institute during our consultation hours to get information about the possibilities of organization and recognition of external exam results. Some information is also available at Department of Civil Engineering, Geo and Environmental Sciences.

In order to start your application process you will need to clarify:

Letter of Application: For a recommendation and a first contact you need to prepare a letter of application, describing your motivation and qualification. You will also need a current curriculum vitae and a transcript of records. We will be happy to assist with the application process.

Financial Support: In order to finance your stay abroad, including tuition fees and living costs, we recommend getting into an exchange program (e.g. Akademisches Auslandsamt) or applying for scholarships (e.g. DAAD, and for the U.S. e.g. Fulbright , EducationUSA or International Student Guide To The USA)
