Eötvös Loránd University now accepts applications from students who would like to participate in the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Programme for the Spring semester of 2019/2020.

THE AIM OF THE CALL

Accepted students will receive opportunity to:

• Study as an exchange student without paying any tuition fee at one of the partner universities outside the European Union, in the same status as the students of the host university. Credits can be accepted with the approval of the Department/Institute.

The purpose of study tours might be to spend one academic semester abroad or start to work on thesis preparation. The mobility can only be realized if the home university accepts the credits of the exchange study. The recognition of courses completed abroad is based on the credit transfer regulation of ELTE.

Erasmus+ international credit mobility students studying at a host university:

• Spend 3 - 10 months abroad as a student;
• Do not pay tuition fee at the host university;
• Have a student status at the home university with receiving associated grants from and paying necessary costs to the home university;
• Fulfil one part of their studies away from their home university and these subjects/credits are accepted by the home university upon arrival (though before departure, the study programme is planned together with the academic representative of the student at the home university). ECTS credits determined by the host university must be fulfilled on an average basis in a semester but it can not be fewer than 20 ECTS. The minimum credits that must be fulfilled at the courses is specified by the academic representative of the home university (these minimum numbers are defined by the Institute/Department of the home university and published in their calls). PhD students may perform research activities as defined in the context of the partner university training plans as part of training (min. ECTS is not determined).
• Might receive an Erasmus+ financial grant for a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 months. Only subjects and courses directly related to the student’s major at the home university are accepted, while other subjects and courses will be evaluated by a separate procedure.

Please do check the set of available courses at the website of the host university and do carefully study information about their language and level (BA/BSc or MA/MSc). For information on how to apply and the host university’s available programmes, please contact Faculty Coordinators. You can obtain information about the list of partner institutions and professional coordinators by contacting Faculty Coordinators and searching on Faculty websites. Calls for Erasmus+ application might also be published on wall posters as well.
