How do I plan to go abroad?

There are many ways to organize a stay abroad. You can use existing partnerships or partner agreements within a TUM exchange program. There is also the possibility of using an external provider such as DAAD, PAD or BLLV.  

Alternatively, you can choose to organize your study abroad completely independently.

Whichever option you select, further funding is available (e.g. through DAAD or Auslands-BAföG).
