Erasmus+ Grants
Utrecht University participates in the Erasmus+ programme, funded by the European Commission, and has been awarded the Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education.
What is the Erasmus+ programme?
The Erasmus+ programme enables you to follow part of your studies at a partner university in Europe or to do an internship in another European country. Erasmus+ aims to promote international exchange and internships by offering grants.
If you go on an exchange or internship (traineeship) within Europe, you may be eligible for an Erasmus+ grant. This grant contributes to your travel and accommodation costs abroad. The amount of the grant depends on the period of your stay and the location.
Participating countries
All member states of the European Union participate in Erasmus+, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, and Turkey, and the overseas territories of the participating countries.
Switzerland has its own grant programme. If you go there, you may be eligible for the 'Swiss-European Mobility Programme'.
Due to Brexit, the United Kingdom is no longer participating in the Erasmus+ programme.
