Funding Opportunities

PROMOS is a program to increase the mobility of students at German universities. Numerous measures can be funded, even outside of a regular study exchange

The Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology supports stays abroad for its students as part of its "measures for internationalization". It makes a total of EUR 10,000 available annually, from which grants for stays abroad can be granted. This requires a formal application, the modalities of which are explained in detail in a leaflet. The application is made online.


The stays abroad are to be organized by the students themselves. The heads of department and academic staff of the faculty as well as the representatives for the partner faculties will be happy to help you establish initial contacts; all departments have extensive international networks.

The internationalization officer of the faculty, Prof. Dr. Christoph Kleinn, is happy to receive suggestions for further student internationalization measures that can be submitted to the faculty.

The Global Exchange Program is the central exchange program at the University of Göttingen, primarily for non-European countries. It enables students from all faculties to spend one or two semesters studying or researching at one of almost 60 partner universities in 18 countries on five continents. Tuition fees are waived.
