Testimonials
Erasmus - Cádiz, Spain
I was in Cádiz from September 2023 to February 2024 for an ERASMUS semester abroad. At the beginning, I wasn't sure whether this would be for me. Shortly after arriving, this turned out not to be the case: It was one of the best times of my life! We were able to go surfing every day, travel through Andalusia and there were plenty of activities on site.
Lucas Janssen Pérez, Bachelor Business Informatics
Exchange programme Nishinomiya, Japan
During my semester abroad in Japan, I had the unique opportunity to discover a beautiful country with countless sights and impressive nature. Japan's culture really impressed me with its successful mix of tradition and modernity. I met so many new people from all over the world, from whom I was also able to gain new insights into cultures and lifestyles.
Tien Nguyen, Bachelor Business Informatics
International student in Würzburg
In the summer semester, I was an exchange student from Peru at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics in Würzburg. It was one of the most remarkable times of my life. The choice of Würzburg as a place for an international academic experience was excellent. The city is rich in history and offers numerous recreational opportunities. A large part of the population is made up of students, which provides fantastic opportunities to meet people from all over the world. Here you will find a balance between quality education and ample recreational opportunities.
