The virtual part is a compulsory component of the BIP. It can take the form of online cooperative learning or group work, where participants work together on their tasks in the virtual space at the same time.

Participating students are obligated to complete the minimum number of credits and other conditions set by the sending university or by faculty/department or in lack of such rule at least 3 ECTS during the programme.

Scholarship rates*

(*for Grant Agreements dated after 10.10.2023 due to change in scholarship rates)

From the Spring Semester of 2022/23 an additional 1-1 travel day may be granted before and after the mobility.

Please note that the Erasmus grant can only be paid for the physical part of the mobility.

Those entitled to it can also apply for additional financial support for students with fewer opportunities according to a separate call for application, and in the case of confirmed green travel, they may receive additional support for green travel (confirmed sustainable means of transport) as well (see Additional financial support options).

Those awarded with additional financial support for students with fewer opportunities can also receive travel support based on the distance travelled:

We would like to call the students’ attention that the financial support does not cover all the costs that arise during their stay abroad, it must be covered - sometimes with pre-financing - from other sources.

Additional financial support options

• Additional financial support for students with fewer opportunities:
  Students eligible for the grant can receive top-up support of €100 in one amount for physical mobilities up to 14 days, and €150 for physical mobilities between 15 and 30 days. Students applying for the additional support may apply for Additional financial support for students with disabilities or long-term illnesses at the same time (if eligible).
• Additional financial support for students with disabilities or long-term illnesses:
  For short-term student mobility, the support is a one-off amount of €100 (for mobility of 1-14 days) or €150 (for mobility of 15-30 days).
• Additional support for green travel:
  From the academic year 2022/23 for confirmed green travel, students may receive additional support for green travel (confirmed sustainable means of transport), which is defined as the travel that uses low-emissions means of transport for the main part of the travel (between the sending and host or its neighbouring countries), such as bus, train car-pooling or bike. Flights and boat trips are not considered green. The amount of the grant: a single contribution of €50 (only for green travel in both directions) and an additional grant for 1-1 travel days before and after the mobility.

Evaluation of the applications

Submitted applications are evaluated by a professional board, stood up by the Insitute/Department. The evaluation criteria are published in the faculty call.
The student might be required to participate at a personal interview after receiving the written evaluation.

General criteria of the evaluation (the list is not in a priority order, there might be other aspects as well according to differing Faculty regulations):

• Language proficiency at the study field,
• Academic achievement,
• Professional awareness,
• Academic excellence or other significant professional achievement,
• Participation in Student Union activities or others at related organizations,
• Participation in a Student Mentor/Buddy System, supporting students.

Those students who have never participated in the Erasmus+ Programme have priority during the evaluation process, however, we strongly encourage the re-application of former Erasmus + students too.

Based on the above points, the Institutes/Departments propose the applicants who are eligible for participating in the Blended Intensive Programme to the Faculty Erasmus Board and nominate students for the Erasmus+ Scholarship.

Practical matters regarding studies

Succesful applicants must register in the Electronic Registration System for the course offered for the Blended Intensive Programme in the course registration (subject registration) period. Your Faculty international coordinator will assist you in this matter.

For the winning applicants to be able to justify their absence during the mobility period, they may need to submit a request for a uniquely tailored study arrangement. In the request, students shall provide information on the decision of their scholarship (e.g. attaching the relevant e-mail notification) and the mobility’s starting and ending dates. With the decision received, the student can justify their absence from the other enrolled courses during the physical part of the mobility.

Coronavirus

The impact of the coronavirus pandemic can be felt in all areas of life, this is not different when it comes to international mobilities either. All international, national and academic organizations involved in the Erasmus+ programme are working to continue to ensure the realisation of mobilities while responding flexibly to changes caused by the epidemiological situation, with the interests of students in mind.

If your mobility fails due to the epidemiological situation and costs associated with mobility (booking / insurance / flight ticket) have already been incurred an individual equity claim (vis maior) can be submitted to cover them. If you have to interrupt the physical part of your mobility due to changes in the epidemiological situation, you can also submit the individual equity claim (vis maior) to reimburse your costs. More information about the individual equity request and updated coronavirus information here. Please, visit it frequently in all stages of your application.
