Upon completing your stay abroad, you are required to submit a student report to the Kühne Logistics University (KLU). This report is a vital part of documenting your international experience and provides valuable feedback for both the university and future students.

Additionally, if you have received funding through an EU program, you must also complete and submit the EU participant report in Mobility Online. This report is essential for meeting the requirements of the EU funding program and ensuring continued support for future participants.

Both reports should detail your academic experiences, personal growth, and any challenges or successes you encountered during your time abroad. Your insights will help improve the program and guide other students who are planning similar journeys.
