ERASMUS+ helps you with the exchange program for the semester abroad

For most people, a semester abroad is more than just a dream - it is almost part of the "curriculum". The financing of studying abroad always plays an important role. Many thousands of German students go abroad every year and use the support of various programs, one of the best known is ERASMUS+.

ERASMUS+ is an EU programme that particularly promotes the vocational training of young people in Europe. The exchange between cultures and the learning of foreign languages are particularly important - your achievements from courses abroad will be directly recognised for your studies in Germany and you will significantly improve your career opportunities later on.

What exactly does the funding look like?

Erasmus Förderung Leistungen financial support which you do not have to pay back and which does not affect your BAföG - so you can get both at the same time. Another big advantage –there are no tuition fees at the partner university abroad.

The amount of your monthly support depends on the country you are going to - currently it is between 300 Euro and 420 Euro. You can find an overview of the countries on the DAAD website.

As a student, you can apply for up to 36 months of support - the application is made directly to your home university. You can apply for funding for a maximum of 12 months for each stage of your studies (Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral studies).
