Erasmus+ Student Mobility (SMS)
Key Action 131: Mobility of Individuals within Europe
Erasmus+ is the European Union's programme for education, training, youth and sport 2021-2027. Erasmus+ brings together the previous EU programmes for lifelong learning, youth and sport, and the European cooperation programmes in higher education. 14.7 billion euros are available to support more than four million young people and 125,000 institutions and organisations. The seven-year programme aims to improve skills and employability and to advance the modernisation of education, training and child and youth welfare systems. Your semester abroad (SMS - student mobility studies) at one of our Erasmus+ partner universities is funded under Key Action 131 - Individual Mobility.
The Erasmus+ grant
Students can receive an Erasmus+ grant for up to 12 months per study cycle (bachelor, master, PhD) in any combination of Erasmus+ student mobility and Erasmus+ internship abroad. The Erasmus+ grant is a partial grant. The grant amount depends on the country group classification of the host country. Students with children or with disabilities can apply for additional special funding.
