Erasmus+ for incoming students
Erasmus Exchange at HFBK Hamburg
Erasmus+ is the EU's programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. HFBK Hamburg currently enjoys many Erasmus partnerships with other European universities. Students of our partner institutions can study for one or two semesters at HFBK Hamburg – given that HFBK Hamburg accepts them for an Erasmus exchange.
Based on their portfolio, accepted Erasmus incoming students will be allocated for one or two semesters to a certain class at HFBK Hamburg. In addition, incoming students are welcome to take part in seminars, lectures and workshop courses.
Erasmus incoming students – like all other HFBK students – must pay a semester contribution. HFBK does not charge tuition fees. The semester contribution includes the service fees for the Studierendenwerk Hamburg (Student Services Organisation), the German Semester Ticket and the AStA (student body elected to represent the interests of HFBK students).
Application
Erasmus+ studies at the HFBK Hamburg are possible for students of our partner universities only. If you are studying at one of these partner universities, you can be nominated by your university for Erasmus study at the HFBK Hamburg. Your International Office nominates you by email during our nomination period from March 15 to April 30.
Officially nominated Erasmus candidates then apply online via HISinOne within the application period (also March 15 to April 30).
Please note that HFBK Hamburg has one nomination and application period for Erasmus studies per year only. For both, winter and summer semester, this period is from March 15 to April 30.
As part of the application process, you will need to submit a CV, a letter of motivation, a transcript of records from your home university and a portfolio (no more than 15 pieces of your own work from the last two years) digitally. Detailed application instructions can be found here.
The application procedure for the Swiss-European Exchange Program is analogue to the Erasmus application procedure.
