Digital Media go beyond boundaries. Therefore, students may benefit from leaving their home university for a limited time to expand the horizons of their knowledge and their methods of learning. The aim of the abroad semester is to provide an authentic experience of learning and research in the field of digital media in an international context.

The length of the exchange period should fall between one and two semesters, commencing not earlier than the beginning of the 3rd semester. If a two-semester stay abroad is intended, it should take place during the 5th and 6th semester and include the Bachelor Project and final thesis. In this case, suitable arrangements with the partner institute must be made in advance. The necessary academic achievements required of the student during his/her stay abroad will be set down in a "learning agreement" between student, his/her home university and the partner university. Credits for completed courses and coursework will be transferred and will count in full.
