Study abroad

Erasmus+ is the programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe.

The mobility period can involve different activities and it can last from a minimum of 2 months to a maximum of 12 months. During the period abroad the students will be supported by financial contributions to help with the expenses abroad during the mobility period.  

Students can benefit from Erasmus programmes multiple times, but the overall mobility period cannot exceed 12 months within one study cycle (e.g., Bachelor, Master).

Some activities related to the thesis research and work can be also included if approved by both the home and the host university.
