Partner department: Institut für Germanistik (3 Places); Institut für Klassische Philologie, Mittel- und Neulatein (1 Place)

Constraints on course choice:
The very well-structured webpage for exchange students explains the regulations on course choice:
"Please note that as an exchange student you generally have to select courses in the field of study that you have been nominated for. As of the academic year 2020/21, incoming students are expected to take at least 16 ECTS per year (8 ECTS per semester) in the nominated field of study. If you are interested in taking courses from a different field of study, this counts as taking courses outside your nominated field of study.
This must be discussed with the mobility coordinator of the other field of study AFTER your arrival in Vienna. However, there is no guarantee that a place will be available.
Each field of study handles this topic a bit differently. You will find some initial information regarding the possibility of attending courses outside your nominated field of study in this list.
Exceptions: specific courses related to Austria, which are, in principle, open for every exchange student, and language courses at the Language Center of the University of Vienna.
Please note that you must always register for a course, even if you are just interested in taking it. Students cannot attend a course unless they have registered online within the registration period.
Information about the confirmation of courses outside your nominated field of study on the Learning Agreement can be found below under the item “Learning Agreement”."

Advice by a returner (of the year 2020/21):
Due to the housing shortage and tense situation in the fall semester, excessive prices are often charged for private accommodation. During the spring semester, the housing market relaxes because fewer exchange students are present altogether. If you can arrange it, a stay in the spring semester is recommended.

Erasmus code: E MADRID03

Partner department: Facultad de Filología

Semester stays possible: Yes

Proof of sufficient language skills:
Most courses at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid are taught in Spanish, so sufficient knowledge of Spanish is a prerequisite for studying here. The required language level depends on the respective department and degree programme. The minimum language level that students must demonstrate is B1 (according to the CEFR), although at least B2 is recommended in the humanities. Master's and PhD students must demonstrate a C1 level. A proof of language proficiency is required. The university also offers free Spanish courses up to B2 level in September and February, but these do not count as proof.

Bachelor and Master’s students will be registered in their host faculty at UCM (main faculty) and will be able to take at most two courses at another faculty. However, these two courses must be offered in the same faculty and may not come from two different faculties.

For admission as exchange student on BA-level, the minimum language level in Spanish  is B1 (CEFR), however, we strongly advise students of the Arts and Humanities to have at least a B2 level. Only then will students be able to read materials, take notes and take part in discussions (take exams and essays) in their host departments. MA and PhD-students have to have a C1 level of Spanish in order to be accepted.

Erasmus code: E TARRAGO01

With this university we actually signed two agreements in two departments of the Faculty of Arts (Facultat de Letras).

Partner department:
Departament de Filologies Romàniques (Spanish)

For students with a combination of subjects (majors/minors) English/American language/literature and Spanish language and literature (or B.Ed./M.Ed. student with the two majors English and Spanish) Tarragona is a good choice for a stay abroad. Students wanting (or needing) to follow courses in other philological disciplines should rather choose different universities to apply for (as there are no other philological degrees on offer).

Constraints on course choice:
Exchange students must choose courses from the partner department (but may take courses from both partner departments). Please note that the faculties and schools adapt the general academic calendar according to their particular requirements. The Language Service offers interesting opportunities for international students to improve their language skills (e.g. Catalan language courses are offered).

Faculty of English
Please note that the admission as an exchange student in the Faculty of English is a case-by-case decision and based on your application (prior knowledge, academic performance, language competencies etc.). A nomination in Konstanz doesn't automatically gurantee admission in Cambridge.
You can only choose courses on BA level:
"Courses in English Literature are available at the undergraduate level only. Students are accepted by the Department of English on a case by case basis, and must have a year’s previous University level study in English literature."

Erasmus code: UK CARDIFF01

Partner department: School of Modern Languages

Constraints on course choice:
Two thirds of the courses must be chosen from the list of modules provided by the School of Modern Languages. This means 2 out of 3 courses, as a one-semester course is usually rewarded with 10 ECTS credits. A further course can then be taken in another area, depending on capacity. Some departments/groups only admit students who study their subject as a major. In order to avoid overlaps, courses should be choosen from one school and, if possible, from one academic year (of the programmes offered there).

Finances:
This year Cardiff was ranked 1st in the 2022 NatWest Student Living Index meaning it is the most cost-effective city for UK students, and the most affordable. 

Students who spend the whole academic year 23/24 in Cardiff can apply for the Taith-programme to receive a top-up scholarship of £850 from the host university.

You can find further information on the university's webpage for exchange students, their fact sheet and the webpage for exchange students from the School of Modern Languages. 

Erasmus code: UK DURHAM01

Partner department: Modern Languages and Cultures (German)

Semester stays possible: Yes

Constraints on course choice:
Exchange students can take courses in up to three departments, but the majority of courses should be taken in the partner department. You can find a very good explanation on the course choice on the website for exchange students. On this site the module books for each department/departmental section are linked:

"Number of modules
Full time students would usually take 6 modules across the academic year.
Students who are registered as UG (Bachelor) level students at the time of their exchange should request to study UG level modules only. If there is a specific need to take Master level modules, please discuss this prior to submitting an application.
Students who are registered as PG (Master) level students at the time of their exchange should request to study PG (Master) modules only wherever possible. We may be able to approve some modules at UG (Bachelor) level but we cannot guarantee this. If you are registered for both UG and PG modules, you should be aware that confirmation of marks for PG modules does not happen until October of each year.

Number of credits
A full time course load would be 120 UK credits (60 ECTS).

Departments
Students may choose modules from up to 3 departments.
The majority of modules should be taken within the department with whom the Erasmus agreement is signed.

Exclusions
The department of English Studies is limited and therefore unless your home university has an active Erasmus agreement with the English Studies department it is unlikely that you will be approved to take classes."

You can find further information on the university's fact sheet and webpage for exchange students. 

Erasmus code: UK COLCHES01

Partner department:
Department of Languages and Linguistics
Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies

Constraints on course choice:
Essex is similiar to Konstanz in many ways. The universities are approximatly the same age and have a similiar departmental structure. The following rules apply to the couse choice of exchange students:
"We're flexible at Essex. You're not restricted to study within one department, you can explore new areas of study across multiple departments and build your own academic programme.
Please note that if you visit us under the Erasmus+ programme, you must be studying in the academic discipline in which the Erasmus+ agreement is held."
This means that you should primarily study within your partner department, but you can also try to get a place in courses in other departments.

You find further information in the university's fact sheet, in their presentation for incoming exchange student and in their flyer for exchange students.

Erasmus code: UK LONDON097

Partner department: Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures

Erasmus code: UK SHEFFIE01

Partner department: School of Languages and Cultures; School of English

Proof of sufficient language skills:
The University of Sheffield accepts a language test from the Language Teaching Institute of the University of Konstanz as proof of language proficiency from exchange students of the University of Konstanz.

Constraints on course choice:
Courses from all departments can be taken as long as the necessary course requirements are met. However, certain areas (e.g. English Modules) are in high demand and it is then necessary to switch to other areas. Therefore, you shouldn't plan your entire schedule with courses in the School of English, but can (and explicitly should) take courses in other subject areas as well. This partnership is therefore especially suitable if you would also like to take courses for your second major or your minor subject.

Further information can be found on the University's webpage and in their fact sheet.
