European Union: Erasmus+ Mobility Programme for Higher Education Students

Erasmus+ mobility of individuals sponsors study periods and traineeships (work placements) in 33 specified Erasmus+ programme countries and in Erasmus+ partner countries around the world. The programme is intended for students who are regularly enrolled at a German higher education institution, have completed their first year of study (only applicable to Bachelor's students), are enrolled at a higher education institution participating in the Erasmus+ project, and whose home institution has signed an Erasmus cooperation agreement with the receiving institution. The duration of the Erasmus+ study and traineeship periods may vary from 2 to 12 months, with a maximum of 36 months for studies or traineeships across different study cycles. In 2024, over 36,000 Erasmus+ participants (students and staff from international higher education institutions) came to Germany. Sponsored students are exempt from tuition, registration, examination, laboratory and library fees at the host institution.
