Information for Bilateral Incomings
Information for Bilateral Outgoings
- Due to the current situation, we do not know if and where students within the framework of our bilateral partnerships may be able to study abroad. Please note that this is dependent upon the partner institutions. Please contact Dominique Lacroix for more information.
- Please refer to the latest updates about the risk areas provided by the Robert-Koch-Institute as well as travel restrictions provided by the Federal Foreign Office.
Information for our Partner Institutions
- We, at Charité, place great importance on the relations with our partners and see mobility and internationalization as a valuable asset. We strive to find new paths despite of several restrictions due to the worldwide pandemic. For this reason, we are in continuous contact with our partners.
- We completely understand that many of our partners currently cannot continue with student exchange programs. For reasons of capacity, however, we have to apply the principle of reciprocity on the exchange program with our partners. This means that we can only welcome students from partner institutions that welcome our students in return.
- Charité classes are offered in a “blended learning” format, meaning, primarily online with the exception of bedside teaching.
