Ausschreibung für Incoming-Studierende

(Achtung: Die Ausschreibung erfolgt vorbehaltlich der endgültigen Freigabe durch die Baden-Württemberg Stiftung!)

Bewerben können sich Studierende sowie Doktorandinnen und Doktoranden unserer internationalen

Partneruniversitäten im Rahmen des universitätsweiten Austauschprograms „Freiburg Global

Exchange“, die an der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg (ALU) einen Studienabschnitt über einen

Austauschplatz absolvieren werden (Achtung: außer Erasmus-, Fakultäts- und

Studiengangspartnerschaften; zudem auch nicht offen für Vollzeitstudierende, die einen kompletten

Studiengang in Freiburg studieren möchten). Die Ausschreibung für Studierende der ALU, die an einer

internationalen Partneruniversität studieren wollen, erfolgt separat.

Bewerbungsvoraussetzungen Das Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM ist an einen Austauschplatz gebunden, d.h. nur wer im Rahmen einer

Universitätspartnerschaft (Vergabe dieser Plätze über das International Office der ALU) einen Austauschplatz

(1 oder 2 Semester) an der ALU erhält, kann sich bewerben. Austauschstudierende im Rahmen des

Erasmus-Programms oder von Fakultäts- und Studiengangspartnerschaften sowie internationale Studierende,

die hier außerhalb eines Austauschabkommens als sogenannte Free Mover studieren möchten oder ein

grundständiges Studium in Freiburg anstreben, sind leider nicht berechtigt, sich für ein Baden-Württemberg-

STIPENDIUM zu bewerben. In Zweifelsfällen wenden Sie sich bitte an bw-stipendium@io.uni-freiburg.de.

Bitte beachten Sie zudem, dass das Studium nur für einen regulären Studienaufenthalt gedacht ist. Daher

sind alle StipendiatInnen dazu verpflichtet, in Freiburg ein ordnungsgemäßes Studium in Vollzeit zu

absolvieren. Dies bedeutet, dass alle StipendiatInnen (mit Ausnahme von DoktorandInnen, die hier forschen)

pro gefördertem Semester mindestens 20 – 24 ECTS erwerben und dies nach Förderende in Form eines

Transcripts of Records nachweisen müssen.

Stipendienhöhe und -dauer Die Höhe des Stipendiums für Bachelor- und Master-Studierende unserer Partneruniversitäten, die einen

Austauschplatz an der ALU und ein Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM erhalten, beträgt 600 Euro pro Monat.

Für Doktoranden beträgt das Stipendium 900 Euro pro Monat. Die Stipendiendauer richtet sich nach den

Vorlesungszeiten an der ALU. Im Rahmen der „regionalen entwicklungspolitischen Komponente (REK)“, einer

Sonderlinie des BW-Stipendiums, können Bachelor- und Master-Studierende unserer Partneruniversitäten in

Südafrika und Ghana mit 900 € pro Monat gefördert werden.

Bewerbungsmodalitäten 1) Bitte bewerben Sie sich zunächst beim International Office Ihrer Heimatuniversität, indem Sie dort

das ausgefüllte Bewerbungsformular einreichen und die dortigen Mitarbeiter darum bitten, es vor Ende der

jeweiligen Deadline an folgende Emailadresse zu schicken: bw-stipendium@io.uni-freiburg.de. Sollte es

mehrere Bewerber der gleichen Partneruniversität geben, sollte das International Office Ihrer

Heimatuniversität zusätzlich ein entsprechendes Ranking in dieser Email mitschicken. Das

Bewerbungsformular finden Sie auf unserer Homepage im Bereich „Incomings“ und dann im Bereich

„Bewerbungsmodalitäten“ unter: http://www.studium.uni-freiburg.de/de/beratung/austausch/bw-

stipendium

2 Bewerbungen von Incoming-Studierenden werden nur akzeptiert, wenn dieses Bewerbungsformular von dem

zuständigen International Office Ihrer Heimatuniversität an das International Office der ALU gesendet wird.

Bewerbungen, die uns anderweitig zugesendet werden, können leider nicht berücksichtigt werden.

2) Nach der Bewerbung beim International Office Ihrer Heimatuniversität müssen Sie sich zusätzlich online

bewerben. Die Online-Bewerbung erfolgt unter folgendem Link:

https://www.bws-world.de/?network&lang=de

Nach erfolgreicher Registrierung müssen Sie die erforderlichen persönlichen Informationen eingeben und

folgende Dokumente hochladen: Motivationsschreiben, Lebenslauf, Leistungsübersicht und ein

Sprachzeugnis (Deutsch oder, wenn in Freiburg nur englischsprachige Kurse besucht werden, Englisch.

Wenn Sie nur englischsprachige Kurse besuchen und dies Ihre Muttersprache ist, erstellen Sie bitte ein

einfaches Schreiben mit Ihrer Unterschrift, in dem Sie dies bestätigen). Zusätzlich für Doktoranden:

Betreuungszusage des Betreuers an der ALU auf Briefkopf mit Angabe der genauen Anfangs- und Enddaten

des Aufenthaltes und zur Arbeitssprache, mit handschriftlicher Unterschrift des Betreuers/der Betreuerin.

Alle vorhandenen Vorlagen finden Sie ebenfalls unter dem Link zur Homepage auf der ersten Seite dieser

Ausschreibung.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass die Online-Bewerbung erst vollständig abgeschlossen ist, wenn sie abgeschickt

wurde.

Eine Bewerbung für Studienaufenthalte ab dem Wintersemester 2019/20 (d.h. WS 2019/20 oder WS

2019/20 UND SoSe 2020) muss spätestens bis zum

01. April 2019

vollständig (d.h. abgeschlossene Online-Bewerbung und Eintreffen des Bewerbungsformulars beim

International Office der Universität Freiburg) erfolgt sein. Bitte beachten Sie, dass nur vollständige und

fristgerecht eingegangene Bewerbungen in die Auswahl einbezogen werden können.

Mit einer endgültigen Zusage durch die Baden-Württemberg Stiftung wird Ende Juni 2019 bzw. Ende

Dezember 2019 (für Aufenthalte ab dem Sommersemester 2020) gerechnet.

Bewerbungen für Studienaufenthalte mit Beginn im Sommersemester 2020 sollten dem International

Office so früh wie möglich angekündigt werden. Die Bewerbung sowie alle Unterlagen sind in diesem Fall bis

spätestens zum 04. November 2019 einzureichen.

Fakultätspartnerschaften Bewerbungen im Rahmen einer Fakultätspartnerschaft sind ab dem akademischen Jahr 2019/20 nicht mehr

einem umfassenden Anreiz- und Servicepaket gearbeitet. Daher können sich aktuell nur Outgoings aus

Fakultätspartnerschaften bewerben.

Ergänzende Hinweise Es ist nicht möglich, das Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM zu erhalten und gleichzeitig andere Stipendien,

die der Deckung der Lebenshaltungskosten in Freiburg dienen, in Anspruch zu nehmen. Der Bezug

zusätzlicher Mittel für andere Zwecke, wie z.B. ein Fahrtkostenzuschuss, ist jedoch möglich. Wenden Sie sich

in Zweifelsfällen bitte an bw-stipendium@io.uni-freiburg.de.

Ansprechpartner Bei Fragen zum Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM können Sie sich an bw-stipendium@io.uni-freiburg.de

wenden. Da die Baden-Württemberg Stiftung die operative Abwicklung des Stipendienprogramms zu großen

Teilen an die jeweiligen Universitäten abgegeben hat, bitten wir Sie, von Anfragen bei der Baden-

Württemberg Stiftung abzusehen und stattdessen das International Office zu kontaktieren. Auf der

Homepage der Baden-Württemberg Stiftung wird das Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM beschrieben.

Verbindlich für die Freiburger Studierenden ist jedoch (besonders in Hinblick auf Fristen, Stipendiensätze,

etc.) die entsprechende Ausschreibung der Universität Freiburg.

International Office Revised: December 2018

BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG-STIPENDIUM (2019/20)

ALBERT-LUDWIGS-UNIVERSITÄT FREIBURG

Call for Applications for Incoming students

(Attention: Subject to final approval of the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung)

We accept applications from students and doctoral candidates of our partner universities within the

university-wide exchange program “Freiburg Global Exchange”, who wish to spend one or two

semesters at Albert-Ludwigs-University (ALU) as exchange students (except students who take part in the

Erasmus program or in departmental exchange programs or joint study programs; also not available for full-

time students who want to study an entire degree in Freiburg). The call for applications for students from ALU

who wish to study at a foreign partner university is announced separately.

Application Regulations The Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM is only available for exchange students within the program “Freiburg

Global Exchange”. This means that only students who are studying at ALU for 1 or 2 semesters as exchange

students, coming from one of the partner universities (via the International Office at ALU) to ALU, are eligible

to apply. Erasmus students, as well as students studying a joint study program or who will study here via a

departmental exchange program or as free movers (outside the mentioned exchange programs) or who are

planning on completing a complete course of studies in Freiburg, are not eligible to apply! In cases of doubt or

questions please contact bw-stipendium@io.uni-freiburg.de.

Please also note that the scholarship is only intended for regular study stays. Thus, all scholarship holders are

obliged to study in Freiburg regularly and full-time. This means, that all scholarship holders (except from

doctoral candidates who are doing research here) must earn at least 20 – 24 ECTS per semester in Freiburg

and have to prove this by handing in a transcript of records after the end of the funding period.

Amount and Duration of Funding Masters and bachelor students from our partner universities who are awarded the scholarship will receive 600

Euros per month; doctoral candidates will receive 900 Euros per month. The scholarship period depends on

the lecture periods at ALU. As there is a special program line of the BW-Stipendium for certain countries

called „regionale entwicklungspolitische Komponente (REK)“, bachelor and master students from our partner

universities in South Africa and Ghana can be funded with 900 € per month.

Application Procedure

1) Applicants must apply at the International Office at their home university, by handing in the completed

application form and asking them to send this form (and, if there are several applicants from the same

university, an official ranking of all applicants) to the following email address: bw-stipendium@io.uni-

freiburg.de. The respective application form can be downloaded from the following website in the section for

incomings and then in the section “Application Procedure”:

http://www.studium.uni-freiburg.de/en/counseling/exchange-programs-and-studying-abroad/bw-

scholarship?set_language=en

4 Applications from incoming students are accepted only if the application form is forwarded by the International

Office at their home university to the International Office at ALU. No applications sent directly to the

International Office in Freiburg will be accepted.

2) After submitting the written application to the International Office at their home university, applicants must

apply online. The online application can be found at:

https://www.bws-world.de/?network&lang=en

After their successful registration, applicants must insert the required personal information and upload the

following documents: a letter of motivation, a CV, a transcript of records and a language certificate (German

or if all courses taken at ALU will be English-taught, English. If you are only attending English-taught courses

and English is your native language, please write a simple letter with your signature, stating that this is the

case). Additionally for PhD candidates: Letter of acceptance on letterhead issued by the professor who will

supervise the studies at ALU, including the start and end date of your sta, the working language, and a

handwritten signature of the supervisor in Freiburg.

Respective forms can be found on the homepage mentioned on the previous page of this call for applications,

if available.

Please note, that the online application is not completed before actually sending it.

For stays beginning in the winter semester 2019/20 (i.e. winter semester 2019/20 or winter semester

2019/20 AND summer semester 2020), the application must be complete (completed online-application and

all documents received by the International Office at ALU) by

April 01, 2019

Please note that only complete applications received before the end of the deadline will be considered.

Applicants will be notified by the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung if they have been selected for the scholarship

around the end of June 2019 or at the end of December 2019 (for stays beginning in the summer semester

2020), respectively.

For stays beginning in the summer semester 2020, students should be nominated by their home university

as soon as possible. The application and all additional documents must be received by the International Office

at ALU no later than November 4, 2019.

Departmental Exchange Programs

As of the academic year 2019/20, students studying at ALU via a departmental exchange program cannot

apply for a BW scholarship, anymore. In consultation with the university management, a comprehensive

service package for incomings coming via a departmental exchange program is being developed. Thus,

currently only outgoing exchange students from Freiburg can apply for a scholarship if they are going abroad

via a departmental exchange program.

Additional Information

You cannot receive any other scholarships that support living and studying in Freiburg in addition to the

Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM. However, you are allowed to receive additional scholarships for other

10 Reasons to Choose the University of Freiburg

Information for International Students

Language Living in Germany is a wonderful way to learn a language spokenby millions of people around the world (including more than 90million native speakers!) and in many top research labs and com-panies. That said, the University of Freiburg increasingly offersopportunities for students with no prior knowledge of German,including entire degree programs taught in English – seewww.uni-freiburg.de/go/international-master-en for details. The university´s Language Teaching Centre (SLI) offers a variety of language courses and examinations for students to help you im-prove your language skills during your studies. The current pro-gram is available at www.uni-freiburg.de/go/sli-en.

Housing & Living ExpensesStudents typically choose to live in a dormitory, a shared apart-ment or a room in a private home. The Studentenwerk (student union) helps place students in housing situations that suit indivi-dual needs, or students can fi nd housing on their own. Shared housing arrangements are a wonderful way to get to know Ger-man students and learn the language. Monthly living costs are about €700 to €800 (including student housing, health insurance and a German language course).

Why Freiburg?Top 10 Reasons to Choose the University of Freiburg1. Academic ExcellenceThe University of Freiburg is one of the oldest and most renowned higher education institutions in Germany. Frei-burg is listed among the best German universities accor-ding to the latest Academic Ranking of World Universi-ties. Our graduates and faculty members include a number of Nobel laureates, and many are at the top of their fi elds. We have partnerships with top universities, research institutions, and businesses around the world.

2. Highly Satisfi ed StudentsSurveys show that most graduates would choose to stu-dy at the University of Freiburg again if they had the chance. Teaching and education lies at the heart of our work, and all degree programs undergo continuous, rigo-rous evaluation and development. We are committed to offering our students an education that meets the latest academic and methodological standards and provides them with fi rst-class professional skills.

3. Affordable, Yet High Quality Higher education in Germany receives generous state subsidies, which allow all students, including internatio-nal students, to take advantage of the incredibly low cost of higher education. The only fee is an administrative and

student activity fee of €105 per semester, which includes a dis-count on the regional transportation pass and access to the inex-pensive student cafeterias. Many scholarships are available for qualifi ed international students. Visit the website of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to explore your options: www.daad.de/en/

4. Comprehensive Student Support ServicesWe take service seriously at the University of Freiburg. Students have access to a wide variety of assistance and advice to support them in all aspects of their studies and personal lives. Internatio-nal students are given additional support designed to meet their unique needs. Before the semester begins, students attend an orientation week that introduces them to the university, the vari-ous faculties and their respective study program. Experienced students mentor new students during the fi rst few weeks, and advisors are available to provide ongoing academic support. Combined with the friendly and open nature of our city and uni-versity, this allows most international students to easily make connections and quickly feel at home.

5. Diversity on CampusWith close to 3,500 international students and a large number of renowned international scholars as guest professors or full-time faculty, we offer a truly cosmopolitan and diverse atmosphere in the middle of one of Germany’s most charming cities.

6. Old World Charm with a Youthful Flair Freiburg is rich in history. The city´s many sights, including the historic city center, are a magnet for tourists. The large number of students living in Freiburg keeps the city young, as does the wide array of nightlife and cultural attractions.

7. Great Location & Comfortable ClimateFreiburg is well known for its extremely high quality of life, and many visitors end up staying for good. Whether that is due to the fact that we have the most hours of sunshine of any German city or the unique atmosphere that permeates the capital of the Black Forest, Freiburg appeals equally to fans of nature, culture or the simple pleasures of life. Located less than an hour by train from France and Switzerland and ringed with green hills and vineyards, Freiburg’s ideal geographic location offers boundless opportuni-ties for relaxation and exploration.

8. Recreational ActivitiesThe area surrounding Freiburg offers many recreational options for the active student – skiing, hiking, cycling and mountain biking, just to name a few. In addition, students may join in a my-riad of athletic activities and courses offered by our university sports club.

9. Close-knit Student Community Freiburg is a student town. Most university buildings are located directly in the city center or in adjacent neighborhoods. Members of the university community can be found in all corners of the city at any time of day – in cafes and bars as well as on their way to lectures, seminars and libraries. With more than 30,000 students in Freiburg’s population of 224,000, you will quickly start recog-nizing familiar faces as you walk through town!

10. “Green City”Freiburg earned this name and reputation due to its high environ-mental standards, its innovative research and development (in-cluding at the university), and its general attitude toward the en-vironment. More than three decades ago, the city made a

commitment to fi nding alternative sources of energy, saying “no” to nuclear energy. Freiburg actively seeks to conserve energy, to use new technologies and renewable energy sources. It is, there-fore, no wonder that Freiburg is home to companies and research institutes that are frontrunners in the fi eld of solar technology. This is a place where high-tech research and successful entre-preneurship go hand-in-hand.
