Costs & Financing

Doing an internship abroad incurs certain costs which vary considerably depending on the country you are going to:

• cost of travel
• cost of accommodation
• living costs
• possibly local travel costs
• telephone and internet costs
• overseas health, accident and third-party liability insurance
• leisure activities
• visa, vaccinations where applicable

However, there are a number of good funding options to cover these costs:

• Internship remuneration
• Auslands-Bafög (student loans for studying abroad)
• Grants and funding options

For some grants you can apply directly through the International Office:

• Erasmus (for European countries) for internships (SMP)
• Promos (for countries outside Europe) for studies or internships
• Travel expense grant awarded by the state of Bavaria (for countries outside Europe).
