Studying Abroad
The School's Exchange Programs
The ERASMUS+Program offers students plenty of opportunities to spend a semester abroad at a university in Europe.
Maybe you would prefer to go slightly further afield and to discover a country that you have never visited before? In that case, a a stay at a non-European institution via the School of Business and Economics or via the International Office would be the right choice for you!
Perhaps the country or a specific university that you have chosen is not part of our portfolio? In that case, you have the possibility to arrange your semester abroad by yourself as a Freemover .
Double Degree Program
Students studying for an M.Sc. in Business Administration can apply to take part in the double degree program. Studying for a double degree enables you to not only study at RWTH Aachen University but also at the Audencia Business School in Nantes, France, or at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. After successful completion of the program, you will be awarded your degree from RWTH Aachen and a Master's degree from the respective partner university.
