Budget Examples

STADS is up and running

STADS is once again up and running, and you can register for spring classes and exams. The registration deadline is Thursday 7 November at 23.59.

Here are some sample budgets for a semester abroad. The category ‘living expenses’ covers your basic needs, such as food and cleaning supplies. We always encourage students going on exchange to travel in the most climate-friendly way possible. This is why we’ve included different forms of transportation in the sample budgets. It’s a good idea to make room for green travel in your budget – read more under the heading "A more sustainable stay abroad".
