Questions and answers about Erasmus+ study abroad:
The ERASMUS+ program is a funding program of the European Union.
The ERASMUS+ exchange opportunities of Anhalt University of Applied Sciences are based on numerous bilateral, study-specific exchange agreements with European universities
A study stay abroad is usually a major challenge for all young people. This applies even more to people with disabilities. Erasmus+ takes an integrative approach and would like to encourage as many students as possible to stay abroad - regardless of their personal situation. Since 2019, students with disabilities (from a degree of disability [GdB] of 50) have been able to apply for preparatory travel grants for mobility arrangements or internships that have already been agreed.
Requirements:
- You are enrolled at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences
- The receiving university is an ECHE holder and participates in the Erasmus+ program.
- The university has confirmed giving you a grant for an Erasmus+ stay in the destination country specified in the application.
- Proof of the degree of disability (ID card for severely disabled persons) has to be submitted to HS Anhalt International Office.
Further information on the application procedure, on the implementation of the preparatory trip and your obligations after the study stay abroad can be obtained from erasmus@hs-anhalt.de
The ERASMUS + program offers the following services:
- no tuition fees at the host university
- support with a grant of approx. € 540-600 per month of study abroad.
- recognition of academic achievements
- support for accommodation, health insurance and visa related questions, as well as arranging contact persons on site
ERASMUS+ supports mobilities with so called program countries and partner countries. For all countries, scholarships have a fixed monthly rate.
For the program countries, the amount of the monthly scholarship is based on 3 different country groups. At a glance:
Inclusion support and equal opportunities are central concerns of the Erasmus+ programme. Therefore, students and university employees with a proven degree of disability (GdB 50) can apply for special funds. ("inclusion support", formerly known as "special needs support" - "real costs required for participants with physical, mental or health related conditions to allow their participation in the mobility as well as in prepraratory visits and for accompanying persons.") Please contact the Internation Office for more information.
The Top Up for students with „fewer opportunities“ (250 € / Month) is applicable for:
• parents/students with children
• participants with a GdB from 20
• students with chronic illness
If you want to study at an ERASMUS + partner university, the funding will be paid between 3 to 12 months.
Furthermore, repeated additional funding is possible for an additional study cycle (Bachelor / Master).
Usually the duration for a semester abroad is 4-5 months.
Each month is calculated with 30 days. The duration of stay has to be at least 90 days and must not exceed 360 days.
To receive the grant, you must meet the following requirements:
- You are enrolled in one of the study programs of Anhalt University of Applied Sciences
- You have completed at least the first, or even better the second, academic year of your degree program (Master students are allowed to study abroad with ERASMUS+ during their 2nd or 3rd semester)
No separate application is required for ERASMUS + funding. You apply for a study abroad in our <link en international studyexchange-and-internship-abroad online-application.html internal-link internal link in current>application portal.
