# Going Abroad for course credit
There are two ways to organize a trip abroad. One is considered a free mover. As a free mover, you have to organize everything yourself. On the other hand, is the ERASMUS program. There you can apply for study trips and will get some financial help. You can find general information about this on the [International Office site](https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/international/studieren-im-ausland/allgemeine-informationen/).

- **`Important`**: No matter if you go through the ERASMUS or Free Mover way, you **NEED** to clarify with the Fachstudienberatung or Prüfungsausschuss if you can get course credit for the courses you take abroad. Even if it seems like it's a course that is identical to one in your program here, it's crucial to still make sure you can get the credit BEFORE you go.

We will now go over the two ways:
## Free Mover (PROMOS) for outside EU or ERASMUS
- As a free mover it is much harder to organize your trip. You will need to find and apply for a program yourself, pay for your tuition and make extra sure that you can get course credit.
- As long as you are still enrolled at JMU you can apply for PROMOS, when going to a country that's not in ERASMUS. You will have to organize your program and studies yourself, but can apply for [PROMOS](https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/international/studieren-im-ausland/promos-scholarship/) funding.
* NOTE: PROMOS can also be applied for if you do your internship in the Masters in a foreign country.
- You also need a learning agreement between University of Würzburg and the University you want to go to. You can find this document [here ](https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/international/studieren-im-ausland/bewerbung-formulare-downloads/)and a specific manual [here](https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/fileadmin/33170000/2023/Digital_Learning_Agreement_Instruction_for_students.pdf).
