Abroad

Students may have to deal with socially unsafe situations at a (partner) university or during a trip abroad. It is good to be aware of:

  • Partner universities (in case of study abroad minors) often have similar support with confidential counsellors. Some institutions refer students to a practice in the city externally.
  • If a student reports a socially unsafe situation, informing the Fontys coordinator internationalisation or coordinator (international) internships is wise thing to do.
  • Students can also contact Fontys deans or psychologists from abroad for an online appointment.
  • If the student is abroad on an Erasmus+ scholarship, there is the possibility of returning home early. The student may retain (part of) the scholarship depending on the situation. Whether there is a right to this will be dealt with by team Study Abroad studyabroad@fontys.nl. The student can get information about the possibilities after returning home. So, there is no need to prioritise this type of administrative action.
