Student Mobility
A stay abroad during your Master studies offers you the unique opportunity to acquire intercultural and foreign language skills and to broaden your horizon. You can sharpen your individual profile by studying at a foreign host university. In addition, a stay abroad increases your chances of working in an internationally oriented environment.
During your M.Sc. in Integrated Climate System Sciences, you have the chance to spend some time abroad at the European partner universities of the Institute of Geography. Here you find more information on the existing cooperations.
Universität Hamburg offers several exchange programs with partner universities in many countries around the world. These exchange programs are coordinated by the Department of International Affairs. If you would like to spend a semester abroad at one of Universität Hamburg's partner institutions, you should get in touch with the Department of International Affairs.
In addition to the offers provided by the Institute of Geography and the Department of International Affairs of Universität Hamburg, SICSS also offers cooperations with the following universities:
