Studying abroad
Are you studying musicology? Then studying abroad is a sensible and enriching option. We will be happy to inform and support you! Study and examination achievements abroad are recognised.
The EU's Erasmus+ programme offers financial support, where students receive a partial scholarship for up to 12 months per study phase (Bachelor's, Master's, doctorate). There are also other funding opportunities, such as BAföG abroad.
All information, counselling services, funding options and application modalities can be found on the International Office website under Exchange Students - Outgoing.
The Department of Musicology cooperates directly with the Department of Musicology in Cremona and with the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. If you are interested, please contact Andreas Münzmay (programme officer for Cremona) or Rebecca Grotjahn (programme officer for Graz). In addition, in principle, all subject-related options for studying abroad can be considered. Information on all existing Erasmus+ partnerships in the various subject areas can be found on the Paderborn University's partner university portal.
