• At the time of entry you must have completed the first year of your foundation course in the field of study relevant to your Erasmus study period
  
• Knowledge of the language of instruction
  
• Undertake an online language test before beginning the course and at the end of your period abroad (EN, FR, SP ...)
  
• A nomination to your home country is not considered desirable by the European Commission and takes the lowest priority. Putting a distance of at least 200 km (as the crow flies) between you and your home community will ensure that you achieve genuine mobility. Exceptional regulations apply to South Tyroleans
  
• Students from abroad must give evidence of a residence in the place of study (area surrounding Innsbruck), as a nomination to the home country is not possible for commuters
