Oregon Study Center Germany

The Oregon/Baden-Württemberg Exchange Program, in existence since 1968, facilitates the exchanges of up to 30 students per academic year from both Oregon, USA and Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Students can expect graded courses and a specified number of ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits that will be transferred to their home campus.

• High level of ability in the chosen field of study
• Students are expected to use their time to continue their studies in a new environment by participating in courses or projects (earning ECTS credits) and to explore the different opportunities available at the ABK Stuttgart.
• Students accepted on the Oregon Study Programme are solely responsible for funding their exchange studies.

Applications must be sent to IE3Global at OSU. Oregon Study Center Germany (OSCG) then confirms your nomination to the ABK Stuttgart by e-mail. Applications from students who are not officially nominated will not be processed.

After nomination students are required to send their application documents to ABK’s International Office.
