NOTICE that you can not apply for an Erasmus grant when going to Greenland or Faroe Island.

What requirements must be met by Erasmus applicants?

• You must have studied for at least one year, and sometimes up to three years, before going abroad. Check under your faculty what applies to you.
• The period of study must earn credit and be counted as part of your studies at AU. To be eligible for an Erasmus grant you must have advance approval for a study position corresponding to at least 20 ECTS points per semester
• The exchange must be for a period of between 3 and 12 months
• You will only be able to receive an Erasmus grant once for a study period and once for a period of practical experience

Where can I go?

Erasmus agreements are faculty specific. This means that you study abroad under agreements your institute has established with other European universities. You can find the agreements your particular institute has established in the list of Erasmus agreements.

All agreements have a faculty coordinator at Aarhus University. You should speak to the coordinator if you have questions about the subjects covered by an agreement. It is important that you investigate the range of subjects offered at the desired universities and carefully review the International Centre website before contacting your coordinator.

What can I apply for?

You apply for both a free study place at a foreign university and an Erasmus grant at the same time. The size of the grant varies from year to year, but is approx. 200 euros per month.

In connection with your Erasmus exchange you can also apply to attend a language course in the period up to the beginning of the semester.

When and how should I apply?

The deadline is 15 February for the entire subsequent academic year. In other words, you need to apply by 15 February even if you are only travelling the following spring.

The deadline is 15 September for any extra study spots and grant funds from round one.

Please note that you can only select universities which your institute has an agreement with. You are required to submit an pre-approval for the subjects you wish to take at the host university. This pre-approval is required to ensure that your study period abroad can be included as an integrated part of your studies at AU.

Your submitted application must include:

• Application form
• Pre-approval
• Academice transcript (from Self Service)

Applications should be sent to:

Internationalt Center
Høegh-Guldbergs gade 4, Bygning 1650

 1) Study place

Following the application deadline, the study places will be assigned by the agreement coordinators. You should therefore contact your coordinator to find out if you have been nominated for a study place.

It is the duty of your coordinator to notify the foreign university that you have been nominated to a study place. You must apply for final admission to the university yourself.

The host university will normally send you a letter confirming your admission and containing information about courses, accommodation, etc. However, practices among foreign universities vary greatly with respect to accommodation referral and other services provided to Erasmus students. You should direct enquiries to your coordinator, who is the person most familiar with the host university.

Please note that the International Centre does not have contact with your host university, only your coordinator or you yourself.

2) The grant

You will receive a contract email from the International Centre prior to commencing studies abroad. Be sure, therefore, to notify the centre if you change e-mail address.

State Education Grant (SU) on exchange 

You can receive SU (State Education Grant) while abroad. You must therefore remember to submit a copy of the pre-approval and confirmation of your admission to the foreign university to the SU office.

Upon return

When you return home you must submit a signed Confirmation of Enrolment, a completed evaluation form, a copy of the final Learning Agreement, and documentation for any language courses taken.
