+++ Funding for Stays Abroad in China +++

Given the spread of the corona virus, Universität Hamburg is advising against travelling to China. Hamburglobal funding for stays abroad in China will not be paid out until further notice. Applications for stays abroad in China planned for 2020 may still be made, although the granting and payment of funding is dependent on how the situation in China continues to develop.

Important Information

Study abroad and internships in Europe or in the Erasmus countries (EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Norway, Serbia and Turkey) are generally not eligible for funding. See the Erasmus Program website for information about studying and doing internships in Europe.

Funding for Hamburglobal comes from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) PROMOS funds (Programm zur Steigerung der Mobilität von deutschen Studierenden—program to increase the mobility of German students) and Universität Hamburg. In addition, the Steffens Memorial Fund may award foundation funds.
