Semester Abroad Apply for a placement at one of our partner universities or organize your stay at a university of your choice as a Freemover. Depending on the country you choose, you have the option to apply for funding from ERASMUS+, the Swiss European Mobility Program (SEMP), the Marshall Plan Foundation or for the FH Campus Wien Freemover grant MOVE. The prerequisite for receiving funding is that the ECTS earned abroad are credited towards your education at your home university.
Internships Abroad The internships of the degree programs are suitable for gaining work experience abroad. You apply to a potential internship yourself. Visit the Student Portal for tips on searching for an internship. For several degree programs, internships can also be arranged through partner universities. Furthermore, students of Social Work and Health Sciences have the opportunity to complete an internship in Africa, Asia and Latin America through the Austrian Development Agency (ADA). For stays of more than 2 months, you can apply for funding from ERASMUS+, the Swiss European Mobility Program (SEMP), the Marshall Plan Foundation or for the FH Campus Wien Freemover grant MOVE.
Graduate Internship Take advantage of the graduate program of ERASMUS+ and do an internship abroad in the first year after your graduation. The internship must be related to the subject you have studied and should help to prepare you for your entry into the professional world. To receive funding for the graduate internship, you must apply to the International Office before completing your studies.

International Weeks Take the opportunity to attend International Weeks at our partner universities. Information about upcoming events can be obtained from the degree programs and the International Office. The INUAS Network regularly organizes Winter and Summer Schools in Zurich and Munich.

Double and Joint Degree Programs The master’s degree program Social Economy and Social Work concludes with a joint degree from six European universities. A several-week obligatory study visit to one of the partner universities serves to broaden the students’ subject-specific, language and intercultural competences. In the bachelor's degree program Occupational Therapy, students can take part in the "FAB-ulous" semester. The courses of the 6th semester are completed in Finland, Belgium and Austria. Students also have the opportunity to earn a double degree. For the internship, which is part of the semester, students can apply for an ERASMUS+ grant.
