Answers to these and many other questions will be provided at the International Day of the International University Center (IUZ) at Chemnitz University of Technology on November 4, 2025.
The event offers a diverse program with experience reports, livestreams from partner universities, and information by experts on organization and funding opportunities related to studying abroad. It will be held in the lecture hall and seminar building in and in front of lecture hall C10.113, Reichenhainer Straße 90.
Insights from students at Chemnitz University of Technology and partner universities from 1:45 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.
Focusing on personal perspectives, students from Chemnitz University of Technology report on their semesters and internships abroad, both within and outside Europe. In addition, representatives from the partner universities of Across – The European University for Cross-Border Knowledge Sharing, specifically the Università di Udine (Italy) and the University of Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina), will join by livestream to present their universities as study locations and provide a brief insight into regional student life. The livestream will be in English. In addition, the IUZ team will provide information about scholarship programs and the necessary steps for applying.
“The reports from students during an information session are a great opportunity to gain direct and immediate insight into what studying abroad during your studies can be like and what wonderful experiences you can have,” says Oliver Sachs, Erasmus+ coordinator at the IUZ, looking forward to International Day. In combination with information about the Across university alliance, partner universities, scholarships, and internships abroad, the International Day at Chemnitz University of Technology will once again offer a varied program.
