Leibniz University Hannover’s partner universities in Latin America offer opportunities for study, research and work placements of varying durations. Options include, for example, one- or two-semester study placements (tuition-free), summer school programmes, research placements of at least four weeks’ duration for the purpose of writing a term paper or dissertation, internships at institutes and research facilities, language assistantships and PhD programmes.

You can find all the information about the partner universities in the respective countries on our country pages (e.g. Argentina).

There is also the option of undertaking an internship abroad in Latin America. The DAAD’s internship placement service can assist with finding an internship placement. Students or graduates of teacher training programmes can find an internship placement in Latin America through the DAAD’s “Lehramt.international” scholarship programme. For further information on internships abroad, please arrange a consultation with our regional coordinator, Cesar Limaylla Bustamante, or our contact person for all matters relating to internships abroad, Azar Hagshenas.

As a ‘freemover’, you organise your stay abroad independently, outside of an exchange programme. You have a very wide choice of universities, but as there is no exchange agreement with LUH, you will need to pay the tuition fees. You can apply directly to foreign universities or through an organisation such as World of Students, College Contact, etc.
