PONS – PONS Exchange Program of German Universities
Humanities and Cultural Studies


What is PONS?

PONS Humanities and Cultural Studies comprises the PONS networks of currently 13 disciplines in the humanities and cultural studies. The PONS networks enable you to study at another university within Germany during your degree program and are comparable to Erasmus partnerships at the European level. Through learning agreements, credits earned at the partner university can be transferred smoothly to Göttingen. The exchange can be financially supported with a one-time scholarship of 250 euros.

Why PONS?

• Broadening of subject-specific knowledge
