As an exchange student, you must:

• continue to be enrolled at your home university
• have studied for at least two semesters at your home university
• get nominated by your home institution

Deadlines for nominations by the home university (to be sent via Email) are:

• June 1st (for the upcoming winter term)
• November 1st (for the upcoming summer term)

Application process:

Exchange students will need to register first for the online application. After registration you will receive an Email with the access details and can process the online application.

The following documents need to be uploaded during the application process:

1. Passport-sized photo (jpg-format)
2. Transcript of Records in English (from home university)
3. Language certificate (if applicable)
4. Copy of passport or ID-card
5. Copy of proof of health insurance / EHIC (European Health Insurance Card)
6. Portfolio (only for students of Design and Architecture)

Learning Agreement:

Erasmus+ exchange students will initiate the Online Learning Agreement (OLA) once they have been accepted at HAWK. All other exchange students can use the following Learning Agreement template.

Application deadline:

• June 15th (for the winter term)
• November 15th (for the summer term)

Please find the list with responsible persons for Erasmus+ at the faculties of the HAWK here.

Important: The language of instruction in all HAWK degree programmes is German. Some selected subjects are taught in English.

The grading system at the HAWK consists of five levels (intermediate grades may be given)

• "Sehr gut" = 1 (Very Good)
• "Gut" = 2 (Good)
• "Befriedigend" = 3 (Satisfactory)
• "Ausreichend" = 4 (Sufficient)
• "Nicht ausreichend" = 5 (Non-Sufficient/Fail)

The minimum mark for passing an exam is "Sufficient" = 4.

Furthermore, there might be modules that are not marked but just assessed with “passed”/ “not passed”.

In addition, distribution tables are used to indicate the relative distribution of grades within a reference group (e.g. within a programme).

Credits at HAWK:

1. 1 full academic year (2 semesters) = 60 ECTS credits
2. 1 semester = 30 ECTS credits

All HAWK students must have adequate health insurance. Without the proof of adequate health insurance, enrolment at the HAWK is not possible!

If you are insured in another EU country and have the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC),  medical treatment will be covered by this insurance and you do not need to get additional insurance with a German public health insurance company. Please enclose a copy of your EHIC with your application documents. Please make sure that your EHIC is valid for the entire duration of your stay in Germany.

Students from non-EU countries (under the age of 30) must insure themselves with a German public health insurance company. All public health insurance companies offer more or less the same tariffs for students with monthly fees of about €110,-. This insurance covers the costs for medical treatment and hospital stays plus most costs for prescription medicines.

The International Office can give you further information and help you to choose a health insurance that is accepted for enrolment.

The HAWK supports students with special needs and promotes the implementation of structural and organisational measures that are necessary for appropriate study conditions.

The faculties in Göttingen are new buildings and have a high degree of access for students with walking disabilities or wheelchairs. A mobile workspace for visually handicapped and blind students is available in all libraries. At the locations in Holzminden and Hildesheim the accessibility of the buildings was improved by the installation of elevators / lifting platforms. The HAWK website is barrier-free.

There are mobile childcare facilities at all three study locations.

If you are an exchange student with special needs and would like to apply to the HAWK, please contact the International Office team in advance.

Citizens of the EU member states, as well as of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland do not need a visa in order to enter Germany for study purposes.

Citizens from the following countries can enter Germany without a visa, too, but need to apply for a residence permit at the responsible Immigration Office, if they are planning to stay longer than 90 days:

• Andorra, Monaco, San Marino
• Israel
• USA and Canada
• Great Britain
• Brazil, Honduras, El Salvador
• Australia and New Zealand
• Japan and South Korea

For students from Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Brazil, Honduras and El Salvador this is only possible if they do not want to work in Germany.

All other international students must apply for a visa for study purposes at the consular departments of the German Embassy in their home country. Information on visa regulations for Germany can be found on the website of the Federal Foreign Office.  

Please do not enter Germany with a tourist visa or any other visa. Once you have entered Germany, the purpose of your stay/visa in Germany cannot be changed.

The Language Center of the HAWK offers intensive language courses, as well as courses during the semesters.

If you want to register for one of these courses, please contact the International Office.

The HAWK offers a buddy program for exchange students to facilitate their arrival and adjustment to the new environment. Your buddy, who would be a regular student at HAWK, would support you in your everyday university life and help you out if you have any questions.
If you would like to participate in the buddy program, please contact Christopher Machold.

As an exchange student, you will be provided with one room offer by the International Office. If you decline this room offer, you have to find accommodation yourself. 

The International Office offers a wide range of events and excursions for exchange students, such as city tours at all three HAWK locations, hiking in the Harz mountains, country-themed evenings, and trips to other nearby cities.
