Your application must be submitted to the International Office of your home university in Baden-Württemberg. Please note that each International Office sets its own university-specific application deadlines. You should check your university’s website for those dates and for any further forms and/or documentation that is required as part of your application.
That office will then, through its own selection process, determine which applicants it wishes to nominate as participants in the OBW Program. Those applications will then be forwarded to the OBW Office at the coordinating university in Konstanz. The OBW Program cannot accept applications directly from students.
You will need to supply a considerable amount of supporting documentation as you assemble your application, so we recommend that you start early on the process. You will also need to do some careful research on the Ontario universities in order to write a convincing application and to justify your choice of the three universities you are required to name.
You will need to submit the following documentation to the international office of your home university:
- Academic Transcript
- Study Proposal
- Language Assessment Form
- Host University Course Selection Form
Please approach the choice of your “Wunsch-Universitäten” with an open mind. There are constraints on how many students can be placed at each university in Ontario, and sometimes we have to make difficult decisions during the placement process. We believe it is important to assure you that, while each university has its own particular profile and attractions, the academic standards across the Ontario university system is guaranteed by system-wide quality-review criteria at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
