Why take part in the Erasmus+ Program?

We should probably start from the well-known saying ‘Once Erasmus, Always Erasmus’ which means when you once start the Erasmus + adventure and travelling, you will not want to stop!

Erasmus exchange is a fascinating experience that not only boosts your CV or allows to make international friendships or distinguish yourself on the labour market but also learn independency in the adult life. It is an excellent choice (especially for the first long term trips)! The application is not complicated and the program provides monthly financial scholarship and a wide range of partner universities.

How Erasmus+ works?

To start your study mobility with the Erasmus+ Program you need to take part in the recruitment process undertaken by the International Relations Office at WAB University. 

Who can go on Erasmus+?

Undergraduate students completing at least the first year of studies and students in the first and second year of the MA’s studies.

Students who have excellent grade results and at least B2 level of English.

How long lasts Erasmus+ mobility?

Maximum 12 months of BA studies/undergraduate studies (1 or 2 semester at the hosting university).

Maximum 12 months of MA studies/graduate studies (1 or 2 semester at the hosting university).

How the recruitment process of the Erasmus+ Program looks like?

A WAB student that is interested in the outgoing foreign mobility should first complete the application form.

Terms and conditions of participation

The Erasmus+ scholarship is admitted to the student who has undertaken the same/related field of subject at the hosting university. The basic eligibility criteria are average grade point (at least 4) and at least B2 level of English. To the additional criterion can be added special educational achievements and/or taking an active participation in the WAB academic’s life. Before going on study/traineeship Erasmus+ mobility is essential to complete the academic year preceding the planned departure and the lack of any outstanding credits in the planned subjects at WAB.
