All students have the option of completing parts of a university of applied sciences degree programme at a comparable foreign university, subject to consultation of the timetable and approval by the director of studies. Each faculty’s "International Office" provides support with the organization of the semester abroad.

In the case of the Steyr degree programmes "Controlling, Accounting and Financial Management“,  "Global Sales Management" and "International Logistics Management" a semester abroad in non-German-speaking country forms a fixed part of the curriculum. In addition there are agreements with partner universities that sometimes enable students to be awarded their degrees within the framework of the semester abroad (double degrees).
