Bewerben können sich Studierende sowie Doktorandinnen und Doktoranden unserer internationalen Partneruniversitäten im Rahmen des universitätsweiten Austauschprograms „Freiburg Global Exchange“, die an der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg (ALU) einen Studienabschnitt über einen Austauschplatz absolvieren werden (Achtung: außer Erasmus-, Fakultäts- und Studiengangspartnerschaften; zudem auch nicht offen für Vollzeitstudierende, die einen kompletten Studiengang in Freiburg studieren möchten). Die Ausschreibung für Studierende der ALU, die an einer internationalen Partneruniversität studieren wollen, erfolgt separat.

Bewerbungsvoraussetzungen Das Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM ist an einen Austauschplatz gebunden, d.h. nur wer im Rahmen einer Universitätspartnerschaft (Vergabe dieser Plätze über das International Office der ALU) einen Austauschplatz (1 oder 2 Semester) an der ALU erhält, kann sich bewerben. Austauschstudierende im Rahmen des Erasmus-Programms oder von Fakultäts- und Studiengangspartnerschaften sowie internationale Studierende, die hier außerhalb eines Austauschabkommens als sogenannte Free Mover studieren möchten oder ein grundständiges Studium in Freiburg anstreben, sind leider nicht berechtigt, sich für ein Baden-Württemberg- STIPENDIUM zu bewerben. In Zweifelsfällen wenden Sie sich bitte an [email protected].

Bitte beachten Sie zudem, dass das Studium nur für einen regulären Studienaufenthalt gedacht ist. Daher sind alle StipendiatInnen dazu verpflichtet, in Freiburg ein ordnungsgemäßes Studium in Vollzeit zu absolvieren. Dies bedeutet, dass alle StipendiatInnen (mit Ausnahme von DoktorandInnen, die hier forschen) pro gefördertem Semester mindestens 20 – 24 ECTS erwerben und dies nach Förderende in Form eines Transcripts of Records nachweisen müssen.

Stipendienhöhe und -dauer Die Höhe des Stipendiums für Bachelor- und Master-Studierende unserer Partneruniversitäten, die einen Austauschplatz an der ALU und ein Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM erhalten, beträgt 600 Euro pro Monat. Für Doktoranden beträgt das Stipendium 900 Euro pro Monat. Die Stipendiendauer richtet sich nach den Vorlesungszeiten an der ALU. Im Rahmen der „regionalen entwicklungspolitischen Komponente (REK)“, einer Sonderlinie des BW-Stipendiums, können Bachelor- und Master-Studierende unserer Partneruniversitäten in Südafrika und Ghana mit 900 € pro Monat gefördert werden.

Bewerbungsmodalitäten 1) Bitte bewerben Sie sich zunächst beim International Office Ihrer Heimatuniversität, indem Sie dort das ausgefüllte Bewerbungsformular einreichen und die dortigen Mitarbeiter darum bitten, es vor Ende der jeweiligen Deadline an folgende Emailadresse zu schicken: [email protected]. Sollte es mehrere Bewerber der gleichen Partneruniversität geben, sollte das International Office Ihrer Heimatuniversität zusätzlich ein entsprechendes Ranking in dieser Email mitschicken. Das Bewerbungsformular finden Sie auf unserer Homepage im Bereich „Incomings“ und dann im Bereich „Bewerbungsmodalitäten“ unter: http://www.studium.uni-freiburg.de/de/beratung/austausch/bw- stipendium

Bewerbungen von Incoming-Studierenden werden nur akzeptiert, wenn dieses Bewerbungsformular von dem 2 zuständigen International Office Ihrer Heimatuniversität an das International Office der ALU gesendet wird. Bewerbungen, die uns anderweitig zugesendet werden, können leider nicht berücksichtigt werden. 2) Nach der Bewerbung beim International Office Ihrer Heimatuniversität müssen Sie sich zusätzlich online bewerben. Die Online-Bewerbung erfolgt unter folgendem Link: https://www.bws-world.de/?network&lang=de Nach erfolgreicher Registrierung müssen Sie die erforderlichen persönlichen Informationen eingeben und folgende Dokumente hochladen: Motivationsschreiben, Lebenslauf, Leistungsübersicht und ein Sprachzeugnis (Deutsch oder, wenn in Freiburg nur englischsprachige Kurse besucht werden, Englisch.

Alle vorhandenen Vorlagen finden Sie ebenfalls unter dem Link zur Homepage auf der ersten Seite dieser Ausschreibung. Bitte beachten Sie, dass die Online-Bewerbung erst vollständig abgeschlossen ist, wenn sie abgeschickt wurde. Eine Bewerbung für Studienaufenthalte ab dem Wintersemester 2019/20 (d.h. WS 2019/20 oder WS 2019/20 UND SoSe 2020) muss spätestens bis zum

01. April 2019 vollständig (d.h. abgeschlossene Online-Bewerbung und Eintreffen des Bewerbungsformulars beim International Office der Universität Freiburg) erfolgt sein.

Fakultätspartnerschaften Bewerbungen im Rahmen einer Fakultätspartnerschaft sind ab dem akademischen Jahr 2019/20 nicht mehr möglich.

Daher können sich aktuell nur Outgoings aus Fakultätspartnerschaften bewerben.

Ergänzende Hinweise Es ist nicht möglich, das Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM zu erhalten und gleichzeitig andere Stipendien, die der Deckung der Lebenshaltungskosten in Freiburg dienen, in Anspruch zu nehmen.

Ansprechpartner Bei Fragen zum Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM können Sie sich an [email protected] wenden. Da die Baden-Württemberg Stiftung die operative Abwicklung des Stipendienprogramms zu großen Teilen an die jeweiligen Universitäten abgegeben hat, bitten wir Sie, von Anfragen bei der Baden- Württemberg Stiftung abzusehen und stattdessen das International Office zu kontaktieren. Auf der Homepage der Baden-Württemberg Stiftung wird das Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM beschrieben. Verbindlich für die Freiburger Studierenden ist jedoch (besonders in Hinblick auf Fristen, Stipendiensätze, etc.) die entsprechende Ausschreibung der Universität Freiburg.

BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG-STIPENDIUM (2019/20) ALBERT-LUDWIGS-UNIVERSITÄT FREIBURG

Call for Applications for Incoming students

(Attention: Subject to final approval of the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung)

We accept applications from students and doctoral candidates of our partner universities within the university-wide exchange program “Freiburg Global Exchange”, who wish to spend one or two semesters at Albert-Ludwigs-University (ALU) as exchange students (except students who take part in the Erasmus program or in departmental exchange programs or joint study programs; also not available for full- time students who want to study an entire degree in Freiburg). The call for applications for students from ALU who wish to study at a foreign partner university is announced separately.

Application Regulations The Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM is only available for exchange students within the program “Freiburg Global Exchange”. This means that only students who are studying at ALU for 1 or 2 semesters as exchange students, coming from one of the partner universities (via the International Office at ALU) to ALU, are eligible to apply. Erasmus students, as well as students studying a joint study program or who will study here via a departmental exchange program or as free movers (outside the mentioned exchange programs) or who are planning on completing a complete course of studies in Freiburg, are not eligible to apply! In cases of doubt or questions please contact [email protected].

Please also note that the scholarship is only intended for regular study stays. Thus, all scholarship holders are obliged to study in Freiburg regularly and full-time. This means, that all scholarship holders (except from doctoral candidates who are doing research here) must earn at least 20 – 24 ECTS per semester in Freiburg and have to prove this by handing in a transcript of records after the end of the funding period.

Amount and Duration of Funding Masters and bachelor students from our partner universities who are awarded the scholarship will receive 600 Euros per month; doctoral candidates will receive 900 Euros per month. The scholarship period depends on the lecture periods at ALU. As there is a special program line of the BW-Stipendium for certain countries called „regionale entwicklungspolitische Komponente (REK)“, bachelor and master students from our partner universities in South Africa and Ghana can be funded with 900 € per month.

Application Procedure 1) Applicants must apply at the International Office at their home university, by handing in the completed application form and asking them to send this form (and, if there are several applicants from the same university, an official ranking of all applicants) to the following email address: [email protected] freiburg.de. The respective application form can be downloaded from the following website in the section for incomings and then in the section “Application Procedure”: http://www.studium.uni-freiburg.de/en/counseling/exchange-programs-and-studying-abroad/bw- scholarship?set_language=en

Applications from incoming students are accepted only if the application form is forwarded by the International 4 Office at their home university to the International Office at ALU. No applications sent directly to the International Office in Freiburg will be accepted.

2) After submitting the written application to the International Office at their home university, applicants must

apply online. The online application can be found at: https://www.bws-world.de/?network&lang=en

After their successful registration, applicants must insert the required personal information and upload the following documents: a letter of motivation, a CV, a transcript of records and a language certificate (German or if all courses taken at ALU will be English-taught, English. If you are only attending English-taught courses and English is your native language, please write a simple letter with your signature, stating that this is the case). Additionally for PhD candidates: Letter of acceptance on letterhead issued by the professor who will supervise the studies at ALU, including the start and end date of your sta, the working language, and a handwritten signature of the supervisor in Freiburg.

Respective forms can be found on the homepage mentioned on the previous page of this call for applications, if available.

Please note, that the online application is not completed before actually sending it.

For stays beginning in the winter semester 2019/20 (i.e. winter semester 2019/20 or winter semester 2019/20 AND summer semester 2020), the application must be complete (completed online-application and all documents received by the International Office at ALU) by

April 01, 2019

Please note that only complete applications received before the end of the deadline will be considered. Applicants will be notified by the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung if they have been selected for the scholarship around the end of June 2019 or at the end of December 2019 (for stays beginning in the summer semester 2020), respectively.

For stays beginning in the summer semester 2020, students should be nominated by their home university as soon as possible. The application and all additional documents must be received by the International Office at ALU no later than November 4, 2019.

Departmental Exchange Programs As of the academic year 2019/20, students studying at ALU via a departmental exchange program cannot apply for a BW scholarship, anymore. In consultation with the university management, a comprehensive service package for incomings coming via a departmental exchange program is being developed. Thus, currently only outgoing exchange students from Freiburg can apply for a scholarship if they are going abroad via a departmental exchange program.

However, you are allowed to receive additional scholarships for other purposes, e.g. for travel costs. In cases of doubt or questions please contact [email protected] freiburg.de.

Contact partners If you have any questions concerning the Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM program, please write an email to: [email protected].
