Intro to Short Term Programs and Summer Schools at HdM and Abroad

Short Term Programs Abroad is for students who are looking for a shorter experience abroad, to explore courses outside their major. Short Term Programs also can allow students to earn credits more quickly, so that they can complete their program sooner or have more space in their study plan for electives.

Our countless international contacts offer students from HdM the possibility to participate in short term programs in different countries around the globe. During HdM study break periods, you can experience two to ten weeks of everyday student life, attend seminars, focus on different subjects, and learn new academic methods. The whole time you will be improving your language abilities, discovering a new country for yourself, and develop friendships.

Financing and Costs

Students usually must finance Short Term Programs themselves. However, there are a variety of tuition free programs, so you are exempt from course fees and only have to cover travel and room and board costs.

Students at HdM can apply for funding provided by the state of Baden-Württemberg. Submissions of the "Antrag auf Landesmittel" are possible throughout the year. Please see further information here. Please note that the funding by "Landesmittel" cannot be guaranteed. The sum of approved funding depends on the length of the Short Term Program applied for and merely grants a subsidy to the mobility planned.

Individual foundations also offer scholarships for certain courses. A databank for grants can be found on mystipendium.de.

DAAD: GO EAST STIPENDIUM For programs in Eastern Europe, including Russia

Please note that this year's Sommer- und Winterschulen mit dem GO EAST STIPENDIUM des DAAD 2020/2021 have been cancelled due to the pandemic.

Earning Credits (ECTS) Abroad

For a recognition of your study achievements abroad and to ensure the course(s) can be considered within your Major (Schwerpunkt), you will need to complete a Learning Agreement. Before you plan your attendance at a Short Term Program, we recommend that you meet with your Dean of Studies, bring all relavant course details with you, and complete the Learning Agreement Form. By doing so, you will determine in advance how the courses that you wish to attend at your chosen university could apply to your degree at HdM.

If you have already completed your academic merits at your home institution and do not need to earn additional ECTS credits in a Short Term Program, you need not fill in the above-mentioned Learning Agreement.
