In addition to student exchanges within Europe, the ERASMUS+ mobility programme also enables international exchanges outside the European Union. These are subject-related cooperation agreements with universities from partner countries worldwide.

• Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral students of all nationalities
• Bachelor's students can go abroad from the third semester onwards, Master's students and doctoral candidates from the first semester onwards
• Subject-related study period of at least two to a maximum of 12 months per study cycle (BA, MA, PhD) in physical presence at the partner university
• Enrolment at the BTU before and during the stay abroad
• Students must be enrolled or registered with student status at the partner university during their stay abroad
• The partner country must not be the student's country of residence during the full-time study programme at the BTU

The ERASMUS+ grant makes a valuable financial contribution to the travel and accommodation costs incurred during the study period abroad. The corresponding funding rates and lump sums are based on the guidelines of the European Commission.

Top-up amount:
In order to give more students equal access to the ERASMUS+ programme, participants with fewer opportunities can apply for additional monthly financial support of EUR 250 and receive a one-off grant for the use of low-emission means of transport (‘green travel‘) for the outward and return journey. Further details on the individual criteria can be found in the information sheet ERASMUS+ Additional Funding.

Interested students are advised to first contact the relevant BTU supervisor to discuss the content and specific plans for the stay abroad at the partner university.

The official application is then made via the application portal ‘MoveOn‘ after the students have received the access link by e-mail from the BTU International Relations Office.

Once the application documents have been received, suitable applicants are selected by the BTU faculty. If the application is successful, the students are officially nominated at the partner university and the documents submitted are checked again by the partner university.
