Please note that below you can find information regarding the application for the exchange programs of the Department of Economics. For details on the application process for the LMUexchange program (=not restricted by subject) please visit the website of the International Office of LMU.

Application Period

Every year there is only one application period. Applications for programs both in the winter and summer semesters for the following academic year must be turned in at this time.

For a study abroad during the 2024-2025 academic year, the application period starts on November 15, 2023, and ends on January 15, 2024, at 3 pm.

Application Process

Please carefully read the instructions below. It is your job to ensure your application is complete and uploaded on time. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered for a spot in our programs!

You do not need to hand in any printed documents, the online application via our online tool (and the online tool of the International Office of LMU if you have selected an Erasmus University) is sufficient.

Step 1 – Taking the Decision of Your Priorities (All Applicants!)

Information

Before applying please inform yourself about the Exchange Programs of the Department of Economics and how you should be Planning Your Study Abroad.

Then, you should visit the website of the respective partner universities, for example please have a look at the offered courses and the lecture periods of the semesters.

In addition, it may be helpful for your decision to read some student comments/reviews about the partner universities on the LMU online platform MoveOn.

Priorities

You are able to name up to 6 preferred host universities (Erasmus & Economics Partners worldwide) in the Online Tool of the Economics Exchange Office (Step 2a). 

The chances of getting your top selection cannot be elevated by choosing only one or two priorities neither by choosing strategically. Choosing based on your real preferences will always guarantee you the best result. Only applications with fully 6 named priorities are considered for the LMU-wide succession procedure ("Erasmus-Nachrückverfahren").

Please note that the selection of the preferences is binding and changes are not possible afterwards.
