We recommend that you observe the above-mentioned application deadlines to ensure planning security early on. For stays abroad planned at short notice, you have the following application possibilities:

• 1–31 October 2021:
  • retroactively for stays abroad that began in the current calendar year and will end between 1 November and 31 December 2021.
  • for short-term stays that will take place between 1 November and 31 December 2021.
• 1–31 March 2022:
  • retroactively for stays abroad that began no earlier than 1 January 2022 and will end no earlier than 1 April 2022.
  • for stays abroad that will begin between 1 April and 30 June 2022.

This option does not apply to applications that were rejected in the previous application round.

Universität Hamburg is strongly discourageing students from staying abroad in countries that are subject to a travel warning issued by the Federal Foreign Office and/or that have been designated as a high-risk area by the Robert Koch Institute.
