A timely application is absolutely necessary in order to reserve a room!

On the application form you can choose whether you want to apply for a room in Duisburg or Essen. As nearly all courses of the Institute of Political Science - apart from teacher training courses - are taught in Duisburg we would recommend you to opt for a room in Duisburg. Please indicate on the application form that you are an ERASMUS-student.

Language

An ERASMUS-stay in Germany is an excellent opportunity to improve your language skills. The University Duisburg-Essen offers a wide range of german language courses. Most of them are free of charge. Further more you can participate in the language tandem program. 
The International Office will provide you on time with further information on language courses. Please note that most of the courses at the Institute of Political Science are held in German. However, the Institute of Political Science offers some courses in English each semester.
