Bavarian State Ministry
In order to promote the internationalization of Bavarian universities and the mobility of students, the Bavarian State Ministry for Education, Culture, Science and Arts has made available funding for internships and study abroad, which can be granted upon application by outgoing students (as an alternative to PROMOS or ERASMUS) or foreign students (incoming students).
The respective funding depends on the total amount of funding provided annually to Landshut University of Applied Sciences and can therefore vary considerably.
Please submit your applications to the International Office. You can download the form here: Application for Internship Abroad
