As part of the Erasmus+ program, EUAS’ students can STUDY OR START A TRAINEESHIP in the Member States of the European Union and other countries around the world. Students who have recently graduated from EUAS can start a traineeship within 12 months after graduation.
The European Commission's grant amounts from Summer 2024 onwards for EUAS students studying abroad are the following:
Mobility period:- Study period: from 2 to 12 months
- Traineeship period: from 2 to 12 months.
Studies and traineeship can be combined into an Erasmus study period with a minimum duration of 2 months. Students can participate in the ERASMUS+ program at each cycle of higher education (i.e., bachelor, master etc) for up to 12 months.

- All students who have been admitted for ERASMUS+ mobility, have to pay 100% of their tuition fee to EUAS during their semester/year abroad (students do not have to pay tuition fees at the receiving universities)
Important to know:
- It is not allowed to interrupt the traineeship/exchange studies period and resume it later (i.e., you cannot go for two months, come back for three months and then return for two months);
- Exchange studies at the receiving university have to be carried out during the following period: starting the earliest on 1 July and finishing the latest on 30 September next year. They also have to take place within one academic year (i.e., not cutting the borders of two distinct academic years, e.g., mobility from January to December is not permitted). Overall, the duration of exchange studies depends on the Academic Calendar of the receiving university
- The receiving universities do not charge tuition fees or any additional fees (course registration, examination fees, etc.) to the exchange student. The student may be charged with small fees, e.g., for insurance, study materials (photocopies, laboratory equipment etc.) on an equal basis with the local students
- The student's study period abroad will be recognized as a part of the curriculum of EUAS
- If the student has also passed subjects for which there was no prior agreement, EUAS will decide on the recognition of each completed subject separately
- The student can go both on Erasmus+ traineeship and exchange studies (maximum of 12 months in total and neither period cannot be longer than 12 months).
As part of ERASMUS+ program, EUAS students can study abroad up to 12 months. Exchange is possible with universities with whom EUAS has valid agreements. For more information, please check our partner’s list.

Students who get the language level between A1 and B1 automatically receive another link on his/her email inviting to participate in an online language course in order to improve the proficiency of that certain language. Also, students who get the language test result between B2 and C2 can take the online language course after finishing the test in the desired language by choosing the relevant language from the OLS system.
ERASMUS+ Coordinator will send the detailed instruction to selected students.
