Application for exchange students
If you wish to spend one or two semesters at ASH Berlin and if your home university is a partner university of ours, you can apply as an exchange student. Your home university has to nominate you for the exchange programme first, so please contact the international office of your home university to find out about the procedures and deadlines to apply. Your nomination has to be sent by your home university directly to the International Office at ASH Berlin, afterwards we will send an e-mail to you with the link to our online application portal and further information about the application process.

Once we have received the nomination from your home university, we will send you an e-mail with all information required for the application. In the e-mail, you will also find the link to our online application portal "Moveon". Please complete the online application and upload the following documents to the application portal (documents must be in PDF format with a maximum size of 5 MB):
