The IS:link network offers students and scholars helpful services — at their home university as well as at foreign host universities.
Basic services
IS:link provides students and scholars with specific support services that are available at all IS:link member universities:
- IS:link coordinators at home universities support students in planning ahead for a stay abroad that integrates a study abroad seamlessly with their home study programme.
- Home and host universities guide students and scholars through a defined application process (See Information for Students)
- Assistance with visa application, housing, and enrolment (for further details see the individual university presentations within the Participating Schools section)
In order to find out who is responsible for IS:link at your university or who you may contact at a foreign university, please have a look at the IS:link Team page. Do not hesitate do get into contact with your local IS:link coordinators, if you are interested in studying abroad!
Additional services
In addition to the IS:link assistance services most participating institutions offer further services for exchange students, including the following:
- Local language courses
- Counselling to avoid bureaucratic obstacles.
- Study trips to distinctive cultural and tourist attractions
- Presentations on distinctively cultural, legal, economic features of a region (e. g. “How to do business in …”, “Typical intercultural misunderstandings”)
- Meetings (e. g. regular's tables) for experience exchange in an unaffected setting
- Fetes and parties
Please refer to the individual presentations of the universities for more information and do not hesitate to contact your local coordinator.
