My Studies
Semester abroad
The aerospace industry is international. Although there are important aircraft manufacturers in Austria, such as Diamond Aircraft and Schiebel, the world’s largest plane makers are Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer. Their corporate headquarters are in France, Germany, USA, Canada and Brazil. For this reason international and intercultural collaboration is the order of the day in the supply industry. For this reason experience abroad is of great advantage for the further careers of our students.
How does it work?
Our students can complete a semester abroad in the third year of their studies – either at a partner university in the fifth semester or during an internship with a company or a research institute in the sixth semester.
A practical semester abroad is fundamentally open to all students, whereas places for an ERASMUS student exchange semester at one of our partner universities are limited. An internal selection and application procedure has therefore been set up, which is organised and run by our International Coordinator. Candidates for the available places will be nominated based on academic success. The courses completed abroad will be credited to your degree at FH JOANNEUM.
Semester abroad: 5th or 6th semester
Partner universities
The range of our partner universities reflects the diversity of the aerospace industry. Each of our partner institutions has a unique profile and offers specialisations in many areas. These range from technical issues, such as lightweight construction and fibre-composite materials, to operational aspects and aviation management. In this way our students can shape their stay abroad to suit their own interests.
