ERASMUS+

• Students may receive multiple funding for each course (bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, doctorate)
• Each study cycle may be funded for 12 months 
• Internships may be funded for two months during and after graduation
• Teaching assistantships are funded as internships

After completing their first year of study, students may study with Erasmus + at a university in another participating European country to expand their social and cultural skills and improve their career prospects. They will have an opportunity to learn about a foreign university’s academic system as well as teaching and learning methods.

The promotion of language acquisition and skills is an important goal of the European Union's education program, Erasmus + (from 2014 to 2020). Erasmus + supports student mobility in acquiring and refining work and/or language expertise. An online language support (OLS) system includes a language test before and after the overseas stay, as well as a language course.

• Regular enrollment at a German university
• Completion of the first year of study
• Study visit at a partner university with which the home university has concluded an Erasmus cooperation agreement or inter-institutional agreement
• Home and host university have a valid Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE)

The Erasmus + program is divided into projects. The level of funding rates for the three country groups is set by the DAAD national agency at a national level to create equality and transparency for students. Please contact the International Office to learn the current funding rate for target countries.

Erasmus + supports guest lectureships at European partner universities with a valid Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE). During their stays, guest lecturers should strengthen the European dimension of the host university, complement its range of courses, and impart specialist knowledge to students who are unable to study abroad. If possible, joint study programs in the partner universities should be developed, as well as exchange of teaching content and methods.

Personnel from foreign companies and organizations may also be invited to German universities for teaching purposes. Staff mobility must not occur in a program country which is the main country of residence of the person concerned.

Teaching stays within Europe last from two days to two months, not including travel time. Teaching workload is at least eight hours per stay or per week.

Erasmus + enables supplementary training of university staff in program countries to enhance internationalization. Stays abroad last from two days to two months. STT can support university staff from all areas.

Further training formats include: internships, study visits, and participation in workshops and seminars. A stay means professional exchange and new perspectives, strengthening personal competences, and expanding and intensifying networks.

January 15 is the registration deadline for study and internships for the following full academic year, consisting of winter and summer semesters. The application is submitted to the European Online Application System after prior consultation with the International Office.
