Up to 6 months of the dual study program can be completed abroad as part of practical projects. The opportunity to spend part of their studies abroad is a big plus for most students on the Viticulture and Enology course. In addition to stays in European wine-growing regions, which can be funded by ERASMUS+, the Wine Campus has also been offering the AusbildungWeltweit funding program since the 2017/18 winter semester. With this program, part of the required practical training in the more distant wine regions of the world can be financially supported. Canada, USA, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand are the most attractive destinations. However, wineries in Namibia, Chile and Argentina also participate. The stay at the winery usually lasts between two and three months.
Time frame for practical projects abroad:
After the 4th semester: 01.07. to 31.10. (Northern Hemisphere)
After the 5th semester: 01.02. to 30.04. (Southern Hemisphere)
General information on visa requirements, insurance and funding opportunities for an internship abroad can be found at and on the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society website at International.
