The Path to Erasmus+ Funding

Before the Stay Abroad

1. The Mobility Agreement (Grant Agreement)

The Grant Agreement is the official contract between you and your university regarding the Erasmus funding. It sets out rights, obligations, the funding amount, the period, and the conditions. Important: submit it signed before your departure, otherwise the scholarship will not be paid out.

2. The Grant Recipient's Declaration of Acceptance

Here you provide your personal details and bank information so that the Erasmus scholarship can be transferred.

Note: enter IBAN/BIC + tax ID correctly – errors will delay the payment.

3. The Learning Agreement

The Learning Agreement specifies which courses you will take abroad and how they will be recognized. It must be coordinated with your department and signed by you, your home university, and the host university.

Use the Online Learning Agreements (OLA) procedure at the following link: https://learning-agreement.eu


Note: Decisive for later recognition – coordinate early with the coordinators.

4. The Online Language Support (OLS)

Many students complete a language test for placement purposes before departure. Clarify in good time what requirements the partner university of your choice has.

During the Stay Abroad

6. The Online Language Course

Based on the language test, you can usually complete a free online language course.

Note: A good opportunity to improve technical and everyday practical language skills.

After the Stay Abroad

8. The Online Report (EU Survey)

After your return, you must complete an online report; it serves for program evaluation. Failure to submit it may result in a reclaiming of the funding. The link to the report will be sent by email.

Note: Complete it in good time so that the final installment can be paid (deadline usually around 10 days after return)

9. Transcript of Records

The host university issues you a transcript of grades. This is needed for recognition at your home university.

Note: Submit it immediately upon receipt so that credits can be recorded.

10. Completion & Recognition

Once all documents have been submitted, the final recognition of your achievements and the completion of the Erasmus process take place.

Note: Check that all ECTS credits have been correctly transferred.

Special Funding / Additional Grants

As part of Erasmus, the DAAD has established special funding programs, primarily for students with disabilities, students with children and single parents, and for children from non-academic families:

  • Students and graduates with a disability of GdB 20 or higher, or a chronic illness
  • Students and graduates undertaking their stay abroad with children
  • First-generation academics (students from a non-academic family background)
  • Working students
