Ways You Can Study Abroad
Drag
Modul University Vienna offers students the opportunity to gain international experience through two distinct mobility pathways:
- Study Abroad: A semester or full academic year at one of our partner institutions. Students pay tuition fees to the host institution. MU offers three dedicated Study Abroad programs for outgoing students.
- Exchange: A semester or full academic year at a partner institution under a bilateral Inter-Institutional Agreement. Exchange students are exempt from tuition fees at the host institution (fee waiver). Places are limited by the quotas agreed in each partnership agreement.
Both pathways guarantee full credit recognition for successfully completed courses agreed in advance through a Learning Agreement signed by the student, Modul University Vienna, and the host institution.
