Depending on your host institution, you need to prove different language skills during your application. Here, we provide you with the relevant information.

If your application for a WORLDWIDE exchange placement was successful, the following steps must be taken before you embark on your experience abroad.
After your arrival at the host institution, some changes may need to be made for which you have to consult with OVGU.
Once your exchange term comes to an end, you will need to take care of some formalities both abroad and back in Magdeburg. Make sure to check this list in time before your departure.

Studying abroad in the WORLDWIDE programme can be very expensive. We therefore recommend that you try to find scholarships or other funding to help finance your exchange time.
