Study Abroad at a University Which Is Not a Partner University (Inside or Outside of Europe)

It is also possible to study at a university which is currently not one of the SRH partner universities. This, however, requires more effort on your part. So how do you go about it? Take a look at this step-by-step guide:

1. Decide which country/city you would like to study in and research the local universities to find the one that best fits your needs.
2. To ensure that the university of your choice meets the quality and academic standards of SRH University Berlin, make sure that the university is accredited (H+ status at www.anabin.de).
3. Contact the International Office of the university of your choice to inquire about the study abroad possibilities as well as the requirement. Request the application documents, course lists and course descriptions and find out about the application deadline.
4. The courses which you will take at the university abroad must match the classes that you would take during that same semester at SRH. This applies to the content of the courses as well as the credit points which you will earn. Compare the curriculum of the host university to the curriculum of SRH to identify eligible classes at the host university. Contact the SRH Bachelor Office for assistance with your class choices. Keep in mind that we guarantee that the classes that you successfully completed abroad will count towards your SRH degree only if your class choices were approved by the SRH Bachelor Office BEFORE the beginning of your semester abroad.
5. Submit your complete application by the application deadline directly to the host university.
6. Prepare your Examination Board application form and submit it to the Examination Board. Contact the SRH Bachelor Office should you need assistance.
7. Once you completed your studies abroad, submit your transcript from the host university to the SRH Examination Office to request the conversion of your grades.

Unfortunately, students who study at a university which is not one of the European SRH partner universities do not qualify for financial support through the ERASMUS program. This means that you would not be paid an ERASMUS stipend. Furthermore, you will have to pay tuition fees at both SRH University Berlin and, if your host university charges tuition fees, pay those as well. However, other financial support options, such as Auslands-BAFöG, may be available to you.
