In one or two pages, introduce yourself and your professional motivation for studying as a guest student at the respective institution. You might also want to explain your career goals to give the host university a fuller picture of yourself. You should not only explain your academic history, but also any special skills or experiences that have shaped you.

The CV (Curriculum Vitae=CV) should be written in tabular form and in reverse chronological order. Study requirements vary and are dependent on the target country. In the USA, for example, you should always submit your CV without a date of birth, religious affiliation or photo. In addition, certificates, other than an academic transcript, are generally not required.

You can download your Academic Transcript / Transcript of Academic Records with an explanation key (grading scale) from LSF in English and attach it to your application.

Only when expressly requested: Proof of proficiency no older than two years in the language of instruction. The host university will always state which certificate they accept. Some host institutions also accept the DAAD language certificate, which will save you the high costs of a test such as the TOEFL. DAAD language certificates can be obtained free of charge from sprachen@hft-stuttgart.de.

General options for language certificates:

• Free DAAD language test, if required contact Andrea Brückner sprachen@hft-stuttgart.de.
• The EU Academy https://academy.europa.eu/local/euacademy/pages/course/assessment-overview.php?title=english-placement-test offers free online language tests and language courses in many European languages.
• TOEFL test. Costs 280,-€, valid for two years
• IELTS test of the British Council

Proof of funds - Some countries, such as the USA, South Korea and Japan, also require proof of funds (bank statement) for the visa; BAföG recipients in particular must plan ahead.

In English-speaking countries, a letter of recommendation is often required.

Only very rarely are certified translations required; these would have to be produced by a sworn translation agency. In most cases, English printouts of the academic transcript generated online are sufficient! It can be stamped at the Registrar's Office on presentation of the originals.

If you are interested in a semester abroad in Australia or New Zealand at a university which is not a partner of HFT Stuttgart, you can contact GOstralia!-GOmerica! and IEC for Canada and the USA.

Students entitled to BAföG can also claim BaföG for their stay abroad with Erasmus+. Erasmus+ grants up to a maximum of €300 per month stay free of charge. If necessary, the responsible BaföG office can provide information on whether and to what extent the BAföG might be reduced. Students who have not previously received BAföG may also be able to receive BaföG for their semester abroad.

Scholarships awarded on the basis of performance criteria cannot be combined with the Erasmus+ grant. Scholarships awarded on the basis of social criteria can be combined with the minimum amount of the Erasmus+ grant (€300).

The EU recommendation for an Erasmus+ semester abroud is 30 credit points (ECTS). At present, ECTS achieved abroad are not linked to the Erasmus+ grant, i.e. even if fewer ECTS are achieved than agreed, no money has to be paid back. BEFORE the start of the stay abroad, it must be clarified with the study abroad officer of the degree programme which study abroad credits can be recognized. The courses planned in the host country and the courses to be recognized at the HFT if passed are entered in the Erasmus Online Learning Agreement (OLA). For compulsory internship semesters completed in a company abroad, 30 ECTS are recognized.

An Erasmus+ mobility grant does not include insurance cover. Students must ensure that they have sufficient insurance cover themselves. Erasmus students have the option of being included in the DAAD group insurance scheme.
