Information for Exchange Students for the degree courses International Business (B.A.) and International Business Management (B.A.)

FH Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts welcomes foreign students who want to come and study at the Faculty of Business Studies for one or two semesters.

The Faculty of Business Studies receives international students from all over the world. They usually come from partner institutions and follow a course of study agreed with their home institution. The so-called Double Degree Program is offered either in English or in German and comprises two semesters of studies as well as an internship.

Foreign students have access to all campus facilities and are assisted by the International Office in all matters of enrolment, housing and visas. Their website contains general information for all incoming international students, from application forms to health insurance matters.
