Guide to writing your own experience report

All participants in the Erasmus+ programme are required to submit an experience report after completing their stay abroad. The following key points are not to be understood as binding guidelines, but merely as orientation aids for writing your experience report.

• Page count: at least 2 pages
• Subdivide your experience report into sections with corresponding headings.
• For optimum readability, please pay attention to spelling and punctuation.
• If you include photos in your experience report, make sure that any persons depicted are not identifiable.

Your experience report should ideally provide information on the following topics:

• Application process
• To-do’s before the stay abroad (which documents have to be submitted to the International Office at HHU? Which documents have to be submitted to your host university?)
• Accommodation (when did you start looking for accommodation? Which portals can you recommend for finding accommodation? Which area of the town can you suggest?)
• Studies at the host university (what are the transport links to the university like? Which lectures & seminars did you attend? How are the lectures & seminars organised at the host university? How are the exams organised? Which university offers for students or ERASMUS students can you suggest?)
• Leisure time (which cafés, restaurants, museums, parks or other activities can you recommend? Which other cities & regions are worth visiting?)
• To-do’s after the stay abroad (which documents have to be submitted to the International office at HHU? How does the recognition process of your achievements at the host university work here at HHU?)
• Of course, you can add any other topic you consider important to your experience report!
