Once you’ve been accepted

Nomination: The International Center nominates all students with an exchange place at the respective partner universities. As a rule, the host universities contact the nominated students directly or via our Center and inform them about the application procedure.

Application: You are responsible for submitting your application to the host university in due time. If possible, we have included information on the application procedure and deadlines at the host universities in the fact sheets at https://leuphana.moveon4.de/publisher/1/deu. (Leuphana Erasmus code: D LUNEBUR01)

In most cases, the application includes

1. Application Form for Exchange Students
   The form is often available on the host university's website (online application or download). Many universities also send the forms directly to the nominated students or to our center; in the latter case we will forward the information to you.
   If you need a Letter of Nomination please contact Sandra Schnell, sandra.schnell@leuphana.de.
   If the application form has to be signed by the International Center, please send the completed and signed application form (pdf) to sandra.schnell@leuphana.de. We will return the signed document to you as soon as possible.
   If the host university only accepts applications submitted via our center, please send your complete application package (pdf) within the deadline to sandra.schnell@leuphana.de. We will forward your application package to your host university.
   If you need original signatures from us, because you have to send the application by mail, please mail us the application documents for signature appr. 2 weeks before the deadline. We will mail them back to you as soon as possible.
2. Transcript of Records
   If you need a current transcript in English:
   At www.leuphana.de/college/studium/pruefungen.html you will find the form "Notenbescheinigungen per E-Mail" under „Informationen und Formulare“. Please send the completed form by mail to the Student Service Office and include a copy of your identity card. In addition, please write an e-mail to the Student Service Office and request the transcript by e-mail.
    
3. Learning Agreement (preliminary)
   Some partner universities require a preliminary Learning Agreement with the application documents, often without information on recognition at the home university (“Table B”). Submit a preliminary LA to the host university within their deadline. Around the beginning of June or the beginning of October, you will then also create the Online Learning Agreement (OLA) on the basis of the routing slip. Detailed information on the preparation of the routing slip and the OLA are available in the corresponding areas below. If you need the (online) LA and have questions about how to create it, please contact Stefanie Bahnsen.
    
4. Proof of Sufficient Language Skills
   If the host university requires a proof of sufficient language skills:
   Most partner universities accept the language certificates issued by the Language Center, including OOPT (Oxford Online Placement Test), which have been part of your application for the exchange place. A copy of the certificate is therefore sufficient in most cases. 2nd round applicants who have not yet taken a language test at the Language Center due to the closure of the university, please contact the following lecturers of the language centre
   - for English: Lynette Kirschner
   - for Spanish: Maria del Carmen Suñén Bernal
   - for Frech, Italian and Portuguese: Christophe Hohwald.

Please send a copy of the application documents to outgoing@leuphana.de. In case of an online application you can alternatively submit a Letter of Acceptance.

In general, it is possible to write your thesis during a study period abroad, e.g. during an Erasmus+ semester. The thesis must be listed in the learning agreement with 25 CP (MA) or 15 CP (BA) and will be graded at the host university. It can be recognized at Leuphana just like any other academic work done abroad, if the basic eligibility for recognition has been confirmed in advance by the responsible persons at Leuphana. First and second examiners are lecturers of the host university. The conversion of grades is done according to the General Examination Regulations.
