ERASMUS

The mobility program, ERASMUS, is the most successful educational program of the European Union. It supports stays abroad from 3 to 12 months at European partner universities.

As opposed to an independent application to a European academic institution, ERASMUS offers the following advantages:

• Simplified application process
• Financial support from the program (currently about 100 € per month)
• Tuition exemption at the partner academic institution
• Transfer of credits earned abroad to the home university
• Support at the guest university through the ERASMUS coordinator, who can help, for example, with arranging accommodations.

All information about the ERASMUS program is summarized in the brochure “Studying in Europe”, which is available at the International Office or for download: "Studying in Europe" (PDF, 144 KB) [German only]

All departments at TU Braunschweig participate in this program.
