Visiting Scholars and Staff

The International Staff Exchange Coordination at HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences provides comprehensive support for visiting scholars and staff members.

For those planning a teaching stay, ERASMUS+ teaching, or training mobility, HM offers funding opportunities to support international scholars who contribute to our academic community. Visiting lecturers, staff mobility participants, and HM Fellows bring valuable expertise that enhances HM’s teaching and research environment and broadens our international connections.

Our team assists visitors from partner institutions and international scholars seeking teaching or mobility opportunities through ERASMUS+ funding. We offer guidance and support throughout your stay, from funding options to navigating life in Munich.

Further details on how we can support your visit are available on the following pages. International doctoral candidates are encouraged to contact the HM Graduate School for more information.
