Exchange students

TH OWL has cooperations with more than 90 universities worldwide. If you are enrolled at one of these partner universities, you can spend part of your studies as an exchange student at TH OWL.

 

How to apply

The first step, contact the International Office of your home university and apply for the exchange program. The International Office of your university will then contact us and nominate you for an exchange semester at TH OWL. You can find the contact person at TH OWL below. We will inform the corresponding department about your nomination and request your admission for an exchange semester. Once this is received, you will receive detailed application information and instructions via email.
