Study in Europe with ERASMUS+

If you are interested in studying abroad in Europe through the Erasmus+ program, you can first consult the Table of ERASMUS+ Partner Universities to get an overview of the possibilities in your department. Afterwards, seek timely discussion with the AAA | IO as well as with the ERASMUS coordinator of your department , because offers and requirements can change from year to year. Some EAH departments also offer internal information events on study opportunities abroad.

You must make sure that your chosen university in the target country offers courses with sufficient ECTS that are recognized at the EAH. In addition, you must of course have sufficient knowledge of the language of instruction to be able to follow the teaching. In rare cases, partner universities require official language tests, such as TOEFL, as proof. However, the language of instruction is not necessarily the national language, which is why we would like to encourage you to think outside the "English-speaking box".

After your successful nomination on our part, you have to apply independently to your ERASMUS university of choice. The application procedure varies from university to university and is bound to different deadlines: Some institutions work with internal or external application portals, others only require a conventional application form with various attachments (e.g. tab. CV, Letter of Motivation, copy of ID/passport, overview of subjects and grades, draft Learning Agreement). In most cases, you will already receive details on the application process with the nomination confirmation. Nevertheless, it makes sense to inform yourself in advance about the administrative procedure on the ERASMUS website of your future host university!

After a successful application, you will usually receive a Letter of Acceptance from the target university, which contains the semester dates that are important for the Learning Agreement and the Grant Agreement. Therefore, please forward this document to the AAA | IO immediately. If you have not received such a document, there is an EAH-owned template (Letter of Confirmation-at the beginning of the study visit) which you should fill out and send to us by the target university at the latest at the beginning of your stay.

With the letter of confirmation from your host university, you will usually also receive information about finding accommodation, travel, introductory events or language courses. Please note the relevant deadlines and contact the International Office on site if you have any questions - they will be happy to help you!

To prove that you have started your ERASMUS stay, we need a Certificate of Arrival from you no later than four weeks after your official enrollment. This can be obtained from the International Office of the host university. Alternatively, a scan of your enrollment certificate or student ID is sufficient. If the letter of admission from your host university already contains specific information about the semester period, the Certificate of Arrival can be waived.

If the courses you wanted to take change, you must adjust your OLA. Again, the change must be signed out in triplicate.

To prove the actual duration of your stay, we need a second letter of confirmation from you. You can have this confirmation filled out again by the host university. Based on the duration of your stay, your ERASMUS grant will be finally calculated.

After you have participated in the examinations of your host university, you will receive a certificate, the Transcript of Records, in which your completed courses are listed together with your grade and ECTS points. Please forward the transcript to the AAA | IO in a timely manner.

You must submit a detailed experience report to the AAA | IO by April 30 at the latest (for the winter semester abroad) or September 30 (for the summer semester/two semesters abroad). Other students will be grateful for these personal insights into your ERASMUS year. Please use this template for the report and also fill out the statement for use while you are at it. Please also note the Info sheet on the processing of personal data by the EAH.

For the EU-survey you will receive an automatically generated email with a personalized link shortly after the end of your stay abroad (Please check your spam folder!). This email comes from the so-called Beneficiary Module, a platform where we have entered your data after admission. After completing the questionnaire, which should be done no later than 30 days after the end of your mobility, you will receive the second scholarship installment within 45 days. Please let us know when you have completed the survey so that we can trigger the payment in time. By the time you receive the money, you should also have submitted your experience report and all other necessary documents.
