You can also gain international experience while studying teacher education by taking part in an international long-term mobility program. “FAU Teacher Education International” supports you in your opportunities to gain experience abroad and offers you the possibility of financial support:
Within the framework of “FAU Teacher Education International”, you have the opportunity to qualify for a full scholarship. You can apply for funding for a semester abroad at one of FAU’s partner universities, in which your attend courses from at least two pillars of teacher education (subject-related studies, subject-related didactics, educational sciences, internships). In some cases, you can also complete seminar-related internships/school visits at partner schools of the host university or write your admission thesis with an international comparative focus under joint supervision by lecturers from FAU and the partner university.
Current announcements will be posted on the home page of the website, in our StudOn course, and on our Instagram channel.

Against the background of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions, the DAAD offers the possibility that mobility measures in project funding can be started online or carried out exclusively online under certain conditions. According to the DAAD, these regulations “… apply in principle for the year 2021 and, in the case of online scholarships, until the end of the winter semester 2021/22, but are subject to the proviso that the effects of the Corona pandemic do not permit physical mobilities during this period. Thus, early modification or termination of these rules is possible if the situation eases sufficiently.” (DAAD letter dated 06.01.2021).
During the studies at a project partner university abroad, achievements from at least two pillars of teacher education, i.e. from subject science-subject didactics-educational science (and psychology)-internships should be acquired. Furthermore, admission theses can be prepared and written abroad.
