4.9.2 Placement of Second Year Students

1. The Joint Commission determines for each partner university a certain number of free places.

2. Each student applies to TUD - the local coordinator - with his/her choice concerning the 2nd university until 10 March. Before, he/she should make sure that the SCIS received all data related the exams passed in the first semester. Erasmus Mundus grant holders who received his/her latest university degree in Germany or Italy cannot study at TUD or FUB during the second year.

3. If the local coordinator supports the student's choice, then the student goes to step 4. If the local coordinator does not support the student's wish, then the student forwards his/her wish to the Joint Commission; at the same time, the local coordinator suggests a partner university to which - from his point of view - the student should be sent and states the reasons for his suggestion; it is then up to the Joint Commission to decide.

4. The student - with the support of TUD - applies to the 2nd university. The university accepts applications based on the above mentioned ranking until all free places are given away. If the university rejects the application, then the student must go back to step 1.

5. If a partner university does not obtain at least 3 students this way, then it may decide not to open the 2nd year and the students having opted for this partner university must go back to step 2.
