Freemover students
If you are not enrolled at one of our partner universities worldwide, you can apply to come to DHBW Mosbach as a study abroad student (also called "freemover").
Please note that freemover students from outside the EU are subject to a tuition fee of 1,500 Euros per semester. Exchange students are exempt from the tuition fee. Freemover students can only be admitted to our International Programs after all applications from exchange students have been accepted.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Life on Campus
In Germany we have a saying: "Vorfreude ist die schönste Freude" - which means, loosely translated, that the greatest pleasure lies in the anticipation. Accordingly, we hope that all the information provided on this website will make you giddy with anticipation. We also hope to eliminate some of the question marks that you may still have regarding what life on one of the two campuses of the DHBW Mosbach will be like. Thus, you can find below some information on housing, integration at the DHBW Mosbach and a link to our Welcome Guide.
By the way, you can find more student testimonials on the websites of the respective International Program, here for the IPB and here for the IPE.
We hope that your exchange semester at the DHBW Mosbach will be simply unforgettable!
