FINANCES & TRAVEL

Scholarships

Dependant on your individual financial situation a full or partial scholarship for German students ("Auslands-Bafög") might be available.

It is recommended to first apply for the European Overseas Campus and only after being accepted to apply for Auslands-Bafög (because you need a letter that you have been accepted....). 

Details you can find under:

Studierendenwerk Tübingen-Hohenheim

But also other scholarship programs can be used....

PLANNING YOUR TRAVEL 2016

From Europe to Phuket in Thailand and later to Bali in Indonesia:

Airlines offer direct flights to Phuket and Bali. 

But to keep your travel plan flexible and economical it is useful to compare prices as follows:

- Booking a return flight from Europe to an "Asian entry point", i.e. Kuala Lumpur or Singapore,

- From there changing to a budget airline and booking a ticket to Phuket / Thailand (i.e. Air Asia, cost ~ 25 EUR)

- From Phuket a flight via Kuala Lumpur or via Singapore to Bali / Indonesia (i.e. Air Asia, cost ~ 60 EUR)

- And at the end of the semester flying back from Bali to your Asian entry point (Kuala Lumpur or Singapore) and return to Europe......

Accommodation

All participants will get in contact with the study group 2-3 months prior to departure to organize and coordinate accommodation: in Phuket and Bali participants mostly prefer to rent a villa with 3-5 people and sharing the expenses which are in the range of 100-250 EUR per month per head or staying in one of the many guest houses.

EOC will provide addresses and websites of accommodation based on experience of previous groups, and via our facebook-group also advice is given by former participants.

Cost

- How much money to spend per month? Besides accommodation you need local transport (scooter), daily food and some x-tras for weekend trip, disco etc.

- Experience of last groups shows that the total monthly budget requires 450-650 EUR. But of course spending possibilities are open end.... 

- International flights, health insurance and tuition fees are not included in monthly cost (for local excursions as part of seminars all transport and accommodation is provided).
