It is also often possible to receive funding from foundations. The
Stiftungsindex (foundation index) can provide more information on this.
Individual Funding
Likewise possible at an international university is the chance for immobile students to experience internationality during their studies. This can occur, for example, by way of lectures being held in English by international guest lecturers. BTU supports the procurement of guest lecturers for all programmes, including the programmes specifically stated in the information sheet.
