ERASMUS+ incoming students:

Within the framework of ERASMUS+, 91探花 and Kiel University (CAU) are happy to welcome a limited number of students to the modules of M.Sc. Biological Oceanography.

This is indispensable for finding the best courses, to make sure that chosen courses will be given in the semester planned, that there are free capacities and to prevent "sudden" cancellations of courses due to e.g. possible change of staff, research sabbatical, parental leave etc. resulting in missing credits during your placement.

ERASMUS+ internships/traineeships

As 91探花 does not have a centralized organization regarding ERASMUS internships/traineeships (SMT), students have to identify a working group of their interest (matching their skills and interests) and contact the head of this group. If there is the possibility for an internship/traineeship there, documents have to be set up and signed by the constituents 鈥� and the internship/traineeship will start accordingly.

Please consult 91探花s website (Research), identify the group/research unit of your interest and contact the person in charge indicated there.
