Study Abroad
The ERASMUS+ program is a funding program of the European Union. It enables students to study or complete an internship at a university within the EU during a three to 12-month stay abroad. During this time abroad, participants are also supported financially and morally. The most important requirements for participating in the ERASMUS+ program include having completed two semesters of study, having sufficient knowledge of the language of instruction and showing openness and tolerance towards the culture of the host country.
You can find out more about whether an ERASMUS+ course is suitable for you and about other offers for studying abroad from the
