International study experience is often a cornerstone in one’s career path. Apart from gaining insight in foreign education systems and teaching traditions, you are able to improve your language and intercultural competencies.

Students have the following options regarding exchange semesters:
- Exchange semester via the partnerships of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (Erasmus, Worldwide, QTEM, FIMP)
