I want to do an Erasmus programme abroad

The Erasmus program provides the students enrolled in European universities stay in another European university (from three months to a full academic year) and the subsequent recognition of studies abroad.

Switzerland is excluded from the Erasmus + program, so students who apply for it will not be able to receive financial aid from the European Union or MECD grants, but will receive funding directly from the Swiss government (Swiss-European Mobility Program).

The student pays the tuition fee at the home university and enjoys free tuition at the host institution, where he is entitled to the same services that local students receive, on equal terms. The reception center must provide the necessary information on the courses offered, accommodation possibilities and registration procedures.

Carrying out the exchange at the destination university will not imply the right to obtain the degree at that institution.

To access the first payment, you must have signed the grant agreement, collected the scholarship credential and delivered the certificate of arrival. All three steps are required to receive payment.
