Ideally, start planning 18 months before your planned stay. Here is a helpful checklist:

1. Clear goal: Do you want to advance your studies or mainly gain international experience?
2. Choose countries based on your interests and study goals
3. Select suitable universities in the respective country
4. Find a supervisor at TU Dresden, preferably with contacts to the target universities
5. Inform yourself about the requirements of the universities abroad (e.g., application deadlines, language tests)
6. Course selection: Which offers fit your study and are recognized?
7. Financial planning: Inform yourself about living costs, funding (e.g., BAföG, scholarships)
8. Discuss recognition of your achievements in advance with responsible professors
9. Apply to the target university

Especially within Europe, the ECTS system ensures easier recognition of your study achievements.
