Costs & Financing
Doing an internship abroad incurs certain costs which vary considerably depending on the country you are going to:
- cost of travel
- cost of accommodation
- living costs
- possibly local travel costs
- telephone and internet costs
- overseas health, accident and third-party liability insurance
- leisure activities
- visa, vaccinations where applicable
However, there are a number of good funding options to cover these costs:
- Internship remuneration
- Auslands-Bafög (student loans for studying abroad)
- Grants and funding options
For some grants you can apply directly through the International Office:
- Erasmus (for European countries) for internships (SMP)
- Promos (for countries outside Europe) for studies or internships
- Travel expense grant awarded by the state of Bavaria (for countries outside Europe).
