Current Information - COVID and Study Abroad
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, and the daily developments are challenging everyone who has planned a semester abroad. To keep you up to date on COVID-19, we would like to provide you with useful information about studying abroad or spending a semester abroad at our universities worldwide. It is best to inform yourself about the entry requirements for your destination country (e.g. via the pages of the German Foreign Office, which are linked below) and at the university of your choice. Since the conditions can change quickly, we try to keep you up to date with the latest developments using the information and links below.
Further important information
- Auslands-BAföG: Information about current conditions and rights during the pandemic can be found here.
- TOEFL test at home: Many test centers are currently still closed, therefore students in some European countries (Germany, France, Spain, Italy) can currently take the TOEFL test from home. Detailed information and instructions can be found here.
- International health insurance: During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, you should make sure that your international health insurance also covers the corresponding services in case of a COVID infection! Detailed information about the coverage of COVID-19 illnesses can be found here.
