It is now only 3 days before I head off to Germany to study at the University of Würzburg and all of the paperwork is now in place. To give some idea of the kind of things that one is required to organise I’ve listed some of them here:

1. Erasmus forms
2. Flights
3. Trains
4. Travel insurance
5. University insurance and placement agreement
6. Accommodation
7. Academic programme

All in all it has taken around 8 months to get this far but now that everything has been arranged the excitement is kicking in (as well as the nerves).

The biggest tip that I could give to anyone about to start this process would be to keep in touch with the International Office, both of your home and host institutions a they will be able to help you with most problems and will make your life much easier!
