Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is the European Union programme that allows students to attend courses, sit exams and submit theses, and to take part in research, laboratory work and clinical placements at partner universities in Europe, with subsequent academic recognition of all activities carried out during the study period.

The main aim of the Erasmus+ programme is to give students the opportunity to improve their foreign-language skills and to promote the development of European society through study and training in an inter-cultural context.

During their period abroad, students remain enrolled at their home university and do not have to pay any tuition or enrolment fees to the host university (except for any administrative charges).

Costs

To finance the period abroad within the Erasmus+ programme, the EU awards a grant to each selected candidate. Although it does not cover all expenses, it can help to cover additional costs such as travel or accommodation in the host country.

The monthly amount of the EU grant is set annually by the National Agency Erasmus+. Special support is available for students with disabilities, funded by specific national schemes.

The Erasmus accreditation issued by the European Commission is available at the following links:
