Study abroad or internship

Your way abroad

ERASMUS is an EU program that enables European students to study abroad. The program not only promotes in-depth study, but also intercultural skills. The academic achievements are generally recognized, and financial support makes it easier to cover additional costs. ERASMUS promotes not only individual development, but also a European sense of community through intercultural exchange, language improvement and the development of international networks. Overall, the program offers a unique opportunity to enrich one's studies and appreciate the diversity of Europe.

The Erasmus+ Program

A stay abroad not only enhances your CV, it also broadens your horizons, improves your language skills and helps you build your own international network. It is an enormous personal and career asset.

That is why the European Union launched the “European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students” (ERASMUS for short) in 1987. The program enables European students to spend part of their studies abroad, thereby not only promoting individual development but also a sense of community. The 27 member states of the European Union, the EFTA countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, as well as Turkey, Serbia and Croatia, are involved in the ERASMUSprogram.

 

All information about the ERASMUS program:

To study abroad with Erasmus+, you must be enrolled at a state-recognized higher education institution and be studying for a degree that leads to a recognized academic qualification. In addition, your intended period of study abroad should be relevant to your academic goal and personal development.

The opportunity to study abroad is open to both bachelor's and master's students, as well as doctoral students. However, if you want to study abroad during your bachelor's degree, you must be at least in your second year of study.

Your study abroad program lasts a minimum of 2 months (or one academic term) and a maximum of 12 months.

 

The following services are included in the program:

  • EU internship contract between the university, company and students
  • Recognition of the services provided abroad
