For your semester abroad in Kuala Lumpur, a multiple-entry student visa with a maximum validity of six months is required. The application process is supported by HSF, APU and World of Students and typically takes four to six weeks. The International Office will notify you when you can apply and provide step-by-step instructions.

Please make sure early on that your passport is valid for at least 18 months and that you have access to a credit card for the visa application.

You are responsible for booking your own flight. Once you have received confirmation from APU, the International Office will inform you of the recommended arrival time.

It is possible to apply for a place in the student dormitory at APU. The application process usually takes place at the same time as the visa application and is supported by the host university. If all dormitory places are occupied, APU will assist in finding alternative accommodation close to campus

While studying abroad, you’ll continue paying your regular Hochschule Fresenius tuition. A one-time fee covers your semester abroad, including APU tuition. Extra costs will include the visa, flights, accommodation, insurance, and daily living expenses. The International Office is happy to give you a rough idea of what to expect. You can also check out funding options, like “Auslands-BAföG” or the Hochschule Fresenius Merit Scholarship (“Leistungsstipendium”), to support your stay here.

Please note: A semester abroad is a required part of the B.A. programs in Tourism, Hotel and Event Management and International Business Management. Depending on your chosen destination, additional study abroad fees may apply. The International Office can provide detailed guidance and current fee information.
