Let’s Head Abroad!

Global insights and unforgettable experiences as part of the study journey

During their studies, bachelor's and master's students in the Industrial Engineering & Management program have the opportunity to complete a semester at a universit abroad. Bachelor's students can either spend their fifth semester abroad or stay at the MCI and participate in an international semester in English. Master's students have this opportunity in the third semester.

When thinking about a semester abroad, you should think carefully about where you would like to go. There are numerous opportunities at MCI to spend a semester abroad at partner universities for each degree program. It can be an advantage if the partner university participates in the Erasmus+ program. This offers special funding as well as an organized content program, which can be used at the partner universities. If your choice of university abroad is not on the list of our partner universities, you can spend the semester abroad as a so-called freemover and plan your stay yourself.

Info Sessions on your international semester in the third semester of the bachelor's program and in the first semester of the master's program give you the full information on this topic.

This gives you enough time to get an overview of the possible partner universities. The allocation of the partner university places then takes place in the following semester, which is the starting point for the following preparations:

• Course selection
• Language requirements and language certificates
• Accommodation
• Administrative matters: Learning Agreements, etc

Active support is offered by our International Office as well as the assistance from our study program.

There are many reasons to consider a semester abroad. A semester abroad not only offers you a lot of room for individual development in the areas of language skills and cultural understanding, but also gives you the opportunity to set a focus on content.
