Study Abroad Programmes
The h_da maintains so-called "Study Abroad Agreements" with a small number of universities in the overseas region. This means that although you have to pay tuition fees (Study Abroad Fees), as a h_da student you will receive a discount of 10%. Find out more about the possibility of counter-financing tuition fees with Auslands-BAföG.
The h_da has such an agreement with the following universities:

Notes
Inform yourself comprehensively about costs and financing possibilities. For visa for Australia and the USA, for example, financial proof is required.
If necessary, you can finance tuition fees with Auslands-BAföG. The office will reimburse up to 4600 EUR upon approval. Even if you do not receive domestic BAföG, you can still apply for international BAföG. The fees do not have to be refunded.
Outgoings are strongly advised to register on the website of the Federal Foreign Office ("Elektronische Erfassung von Deutschen im Ausland (ELEFAND)") for all trips, and especially for trips to regions with a critical security situation.
