Outgoing students
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.
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.
Enrollment for Erasmus+ trips for students for Spring 2024/2025 will take place from 23.09.2024 – 04.10.2024 via the application form below.
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).
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.

Health insurance
- A prerequisite for mobility from the Erasmus+ Programme is having valid health insurance, which must cover the dates of physical mobility abroad. One possibility is to obtain an EHIC card from the Lower Silesian Unit of the National Health Fund (NFZ) at 55a Romuald Traugutta Str. The EHIC card covers European countries and is conditional on having health insurance in NFZ or reporting a family member to the Fund.
More information here: https://pacjent.gov.pl/ekuz, https://www.nfz-wroclaw.pl/ and https://www.nfz.gov.pl/dla-pacjenta/medical-treatment-abroad/.
- If you do not have NFZ insurance, or if you do have it and would like to extend your insurance coverage, you may also purchase the ISIC card, which covers accident insurance in Poland and abroad and medical treatment during travel. In addition, there is the option of purchasing an additional liability insurance.
The cost, types of cards, list of countries where ISIC insurance is recognised and additional information can be found on the website: https://www.isic.pl/en/about-isic/the-isic-card.html and https://www.isic.org/.
A list of places where the card can be obtained may be found at: https://www.isic.org/.
- Another option is to take out insurance from private insurance companies; the cost depends on the company and the insurance package chosen.

Extension of stay

It is not possible to extend the stay for another academic year, even without receiving a grant. In order to extend the stay for further months within one academic year, the consent of the host institution and the home university must be obtained. Students extending their stay by additional months may or may not receive additional funding.
