Studying Abroad (Outgoing Exchanges)

Completing part of the English and American Studies programme abroad is probably the goal of the majority of our students. However, the number of affordable study places is limited, since universities in Great Britain, North America, Australia and other English-speaking countries charge high tuition fees, which cannot easily be negotiated away.
Study fees are waived under the Erasmus+ and the Non-EU exchange schemes.

Both Erasmus+ and Non-EU are administrated by the International Office of the University of Vienna. While Non-EU exchange candidates are selected by interdisciplinary multi-faculty committees, Erasmus candidates are selected at departmental level. Departmental mobility coordinators advise students to some extent on both programmes. 

Other possibilities include self-organized Erasmus Internships (Praktika) and, especially for B.Ed. and M.Ed. students, Teaching Assistantships. The Fulbright Program combines Teaching Assistantships with the possibility to attend university courses, among other options.

For more general information on Erasmus+ and Non-EU see https://international.univie.ac.at/student-mobility/ (Outgoing Mobility). If interested in the Erasmus+ scheme, please read also the more specific information HERE. 
Both programmes should be seriously considered by students of English. Although they are competitive, a considerable number of students of English has participated in them  in past years.

Incoming students

Every year, our department hosts students from our Erasmus partner universities. In addition, we welcome students from partner universities in Canada, the USA, Australia and South-East Asia. We also try our best to accommodate students coming under Erasmus agreements with other departments / fields of studies in our courses. More information and advice can be found here: Incoming Students.

Enjoy your stay in Vienna!
