ERASMUS + FAQ

Take a look at our application database Mobility Online to find suitable universities for your degree program. You will then have to research the courses offered by the partner university on their website: Does the offer there appeal to you? Do the semester times suit yours? Can you afford the desired country and the city? How about living space there?

Finding the right host partner university is a very subjective matter and there is no magic formula. It depends on your preferences and wishes, here you come to Mobility Online.
