Internationalization
Mobilities

The PMU considers itself a learning institution and recognises the immense value of staff mobility in fostering collaboration, innovation and partnerships. Colleagues are strongly encouraged to first contact the potential host department or institution before submitting a staff mobility application.

Staff mobility strengthens relationships with partners and expands the knowledge and competences of PMU's teaching, research and administrative staff. The University actively promotes staff mobility through programmes such as Erasmus+, Fulbright Scholarships, Africa-Uninet, Eurasia Pacific Uninet, research grants and bilateral agreements. Visiting staff, including visiting fellows for teaching and/or research as well as clinical fellows, are welcome to contact the International Office for further information.

Testimonials from staff

The Erasmus+ mobility gave me the opportunity to learn new fascinating techniques and expand my knowledge and expertise by interacting with other researchers in a refreshing environment.

Emanuele Bernardinelli, Forscher

// Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology

Erasmus+ gave me the opportunity to adapt to different contexts and establish myself there. Without such experiences, I wouldn't be doing the things I do today.

Piret Paal, Lecturer

// Institute of Nursing Science and Practice

In June 2023 I attended a language course at the University of Caen Normandy. The course was well organized, the teachers and facilities were excellent, and this created an atmosphere very conducive to learning. In short, the Erasmus+ program is a good way of upgrading your language skills.

Maria-Fe Ortner

// Organisation of study programme - PhD Medical Science

We offer international students the opportunity to complete their clinical and research internships at one of our institutes and at the PMU University Hospitals in Salzburg and Nuremberg. Freelance and visiting scientists for study or research purposes can also apply.

We recommend that you discuss your interests with your respective study organisation at least one year before the planned mobility stay.

Testimonials from students

I improved my German language skills by speaking German with the patients. I am delighted to have the opportunity to put theoretical knowledge into practice under the guidance of excellent mentors.

Thanks to this internship, I can better understand the mechanisms of the various molecular modelling algorithms and better interpret the results of chemoinformatics.

The Erasmus+ internship showed me that I'm in the right place. Now I can say with certainty that my dream is to become a doctor. I am very happy that I have been given such an opportunity and can gain new experiences!

Mariia Soliak, Ukraine

// Medicine / Cardiology

One of the most significant aspects of my experience going to Lund, Sweden with ERASMUS+ was the invaluable opportunity to engage in advanced lab work. In addition to the academic and research benefits, the ERASMUS+ program offered me the chance to meet and collaborate with peers from a wide range of cultural and academic backgrounds.

Magdalena Eder

// Master student / Medicine

During my trimester abroad at the University of Tübingen in Germany, supported by the Erasmus program, I gained valuable experience in radiology. The semester abroad allowed me not only to grow professionally but also culturally by experiencing a new culture and establishing valuable international contacts that could benefit my future career

Nikolaus Clodi

// Master student / Medicine

I got the chance to participate in a Blended Intensive Program (BIP) and learn new things about a topic I would not have encountered without the Erasmus program. My Erasmus+ mobilities were an added value through and through.The Erasmus program is a privilege without a doubt. It is such an impactful program in terms of academic, but also personal development.

Simon Lin

// PhD student / Medical Science

Having had the Erasmus grant was really helpful for me. Having been able to work with such great surgeons and learn from them was a very unique experience and will surely be helpful for my further career. I can highly recommend the friendly staff at the International Office and the whole Erasmus program in order to go and explore the world with all its beauty, differences and difficulties.

Maximilian Pitsch

// Student / Medicine

First of all, my Erasmus+ mobility allowed me to learn a lot about how it is to start in a new country without any / a lot of personal connections. It gave me the opportunity to learn a lot about research in general and the topic of the research project. Those are for sure learnings that will be useful for my entire career, as well as the connections I was able to make.
