Plan your studies abroad!
We encourage our students to start planning a semester abroad at an early stage. Immersing oneself in everyday life in a foreign country and a foreign-language university greatly widens one's horizons and can open up completely new career opportunities. Our Bachelor's study plan is quite flexible such that a semester abroad can be easily integrated. You will experience that with your education received in Jena you are well prepared to be successful at any other university worldwide. In fact, our graduates are frequently invited and requested by foreign colleagues.
If we did not answer all your questions regarding the various programmes, please do not hesitate to contact the people listed below and ask away!
If you are currently registered at a foreign university in a Bachelor's or Master's programme (or an equivalent) and if you are interested in a research traineeship at our university, you can find out more here.
Erasmus+ Program
The ERASMUS+ program enables FSU students to study or to perform an internship abroad. You will have the opportunity to expand your professional, social and cultural skills at approximately 250 partner universities in 27 countries.
Organizational and professional support in preparing for your studies and supervision onsite are provided by the FSU Jena de and the host university abroad, respectively. You may reserve an ERASMUS+ slot in all member states of the European Union. Moreover, there are many more opportunities to study outside the EU. All participating countries and universities are listed below.

Exchange program: Osaka University and Chiba University
In addition to the Erasmus+ programs, there are two bilateral exchange agreements with Japanese universities, specifically for physics.
By joining one of these programs, you have the opportunity to study one semester in Japan as a guest student in the English-language programs or to write a Master's thesis in one of the working groups, either in whole or in part. The advantage of the bilateral agreements is that participating students do not have to pay tuition fees that are otherwise usual in Japan. To a limited extent, it is also possible to receive a Japanese scholarship for the duration of the stay in Japan.
The competitive allocation is not done by the International Office of the FSU. Rather, the procedure is organized at the Japanese partner universities via an online application form and at specified fixed periods (6 - 8 months before the planned stay).
A prior contact with Prof. Fritz, who will be happy to advise you, is absolutely necessary.

The traineeships are easily accessible and offer a lump sum of up to €1,500 towards travel and living costs. They are ideal for research stays or internships lasting from several weeks to a few months, for example to join a research group at a Phortify partner institution during a Master’s programme.
