\"Many Christian students returning from their stay abroad testify that the experience has stretched and strengthened their faith. Most find it tough at times. So we want to help you as much as possible as you prepare to go.\"

One of many examples using \'stay abroad\'.
Seems to be used a lot in insurance documents too, mainly linked with long stays!

agree  Chris Rowson (X): Yes, and it is also used in employment contexts, e.g. in CVs.

neutral  Chris Rowson (X): "Sojourn" is very unusual these days. While, on the other hand, using "abroad" for "in a foreign country" is usual.

some ideas:


Explanation:
I wouldn’t use ‘stay abroad’, sounds a bit too informal for a job application. And I’m sure you are not simply referring to a holiday but an extended period of time spent studyin/working/travelling abroad. Depending on what exactly your Auslandsaufenthalt refers to, why don’t you try:

Time spent abroad
Time spent in (country)
Period of foreign study or Year Abroad (if it is a year)
Work experience abroad/ overseas work experience
Overseas Travelling
or something along these lines
hope it helps
