Free mover
Self-organised stays abroad must be coordinated by the students themselves.
Choice of the destination
Within Europe it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a university for a self-organised stay abroad.
Choose a university with which the D-ARCH has no student exchange agreement.
Important: First clarify whether the university of your choice even accepts incoming visiting students.
Only then take further steps (or try another university).
The mobility coordinator at the D-ARCH will sign application forms or hand out official documents when needed.

Requirements and recognition of performance assessments
In these aspects there is no difference between a mobility semester within a programme or a free mover.
Confirmation of a "free mover" semester: You must inform the mobility coordinator at the D-ARCH before you study abroad. Otherwise no performance assessments from the mobility semester will be credited for the your studies.
