ERASMUS+ for Students – OUTGOING
The European Union’s ERASMUS+ education programme supports international exchange in the fields of education, youth and sports. Under this programme, students of the University of Music Wuerzburg not only have the opportunity to study or do an internship in one of the 33 programme countries, but also receive a financial grant in the form of a mobility allowance for their stay abroad. The programme countries include the 28 countries of the European Union as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Turkey and Macedonia. Studies in Switzerland can be funded under the Swiss-European Mobility Programme (SEMP), which is similar to ERASMUS+.
Students can be funded under ERASMUS+ if they are regularly enrolled at the University of Music Wuerzburg and have already completed their first year of study. If you are interested in studying abroad, it is important to start planning as early as possible.
The team of the IO will gladly answer all of your questions concerning ERASMUS+!
Study Abroad
Studying abroad at a European partner institution of the University of Music Wuerzburg can be funded by ERASMUS+ for at least 3 months and at most 12 months. If you are interested in studying at a university in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Norway, Switzerland or Turkey, which is currently not a partner university of the University of Music Wuerzburg, please contact the IO team. If possible, we will then sign an ERASMUS+ cooperation agreement with the respective university!
