What is the Erasmus+ programme?
The Erasmus+ programme makes it possible to follow part of your study programme at a partner university within the European Union, or to do an internship at a foreign institution. The Erasmus+ programme includes all 28 Member States, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia, and Turkey. Switzerland has created an alternative structure: they offer grants in the context of the 'Swiss-European Mobility Programme'.

What is an Erasmus+ grant?
As an Erasmus+ student you receive an allowance to cover the additional travel and living expenses of your stay abroad: the Erasmus+ grant. The amount of this grant is determined on an annual basis by Nuffic. It is related to the number of days you spend abroad for your studies or internship. The amount is linked to your country of destination.

Do I qualify for an Erasmus+ grant?
For the General Conditions for Participation, please have a look at the PDF you see here. The actual selection procedure for a stay abroad with Erasmus+ takes place within your faculty. Some faculties set specific deadlines in this context. We therefore advise you to consult the internationalisation officer of your faculty in timely fashion.

Erasmus+, extended possibilities for stay abroad for students
You can choose to go abroad for a maximum of 1 year in any phase of your studies. This means that you can study and/or do an internship abroad during both your Bachelor’s programme and your Master’s programme, for up to 12 months per study phase. An internship should take from 2 to 12 months, a period of study mobility from 3 to 12 months. You can also choose to study or do an internship abroad more than once, as long as you do not exceed the maximum 12 months period per study phase. The same applies to the PhD phase: in this phase too, you can study and/or do an internship abroad for a maximum of 12 months.

What does the Erasmus+ grant mean for me concretely?
The grant amounts are a.o. linked to the country of destination. There is furthermore a difference between grants for study purposes and for internships.

Please note: the actual grant is calculated on the basis of the number of days that you spend abroad. This calculation is based on the assumption that all months have 30 days.

New within Erasmus+: an internship grant after graduation
The new Erasmus+ programme also offers the option of doing a study or work-related internship abroad for a maximum of 1 year after your graduation. This can be a great step towards an international career because it allows you to gain international work experience. It also enables you to expand your CV. You have to apply for this grant, which is subject to the same conditions as the normal Erasmus+ grant, in your last year of study. For more information, please contact your faculty contact person.
