Your semester abroad
International experience will increase your chances on the labour market, not just due to language skills acquired but in particular as a result of the additional soft skills you will gain - key qualifications such as self-employment, tolerance, flexibility and intercultural competence. For many students, a stay abroad during a degree course is a crucial step towards greater independence.

Freemover
Missed the application deadline? Haven't found a suitable partner university? Then you can still complete a freemover stay abroad. This is a self-organized stay abroad, i.e. you take care of the selection of the university, the application and everything else yourself. You are thus moving outside the exchange programmes of THI.
