Students coming from outside the EU

This page provides information for students who are interested in coming to Saarland University to study for one or at most two semesters and who are not a national of an EU member state.


If you want to come as an exchange student from one of our partner universities, please click on the link ‘Exchange programmes’. If you plan to come as a free-mover (i.e. an incoming student not participating in an official partnership or exchange programme), please follow the link ‘Free-movers or scholarship holders’. In both cases, the International Office is your contact at Saarland University.
