Europe
ATTENTION: For some partner universities, there are certain regulations regarding the timing (winter or summer semester) and/or the duration (semester or full academic year) of the ERASMUS+ stay. The best way to find out which universities are affected is to contact the respective subject coordinator directly.
ERASMUS+ (EuRopean Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students) is the EU programme for education, youth and sport. The programme focuses on the promotion of mobility and transnational cooperation as well as the exchange of best practice in the education and youth sector.
As part of the ERASMUS+ student mobility programme, you can also study at a partner university in a Romance-speaking country for one semester or a whole academic year as an outgoing student at the University of Innsbruck and have the courses you complete credited towards your studies here in Innsbruck. In addition, every year "incomings", i.e. students from our respective partner universities, come to us in Tyrol to take part in a subsidised ERASMUS+ stay and study Romance languages and cultures together with you.
The earliest possible start of an ERASMUS+ stay depends on the respective study cycle (Bachelor, Master, PhD):
- In the Bachelor's programme, an ERASMUS+ stay abroad is possible from the 3rd semester, i.e. after completing the 1st year of study. If you are interested in an ERASMUS+ stay in the 2nd year of study, you should already inform yourself and apply in the 1st semester!
- In the Master's and PhD programmes, however, an ERASMUS+ stay abroad is possible from the 1st semester onwards. However, there are some restrictions regarding the universities, i.e. the agreements do not apply to the Master's and PhD level at every partner university.
More information on the ERASMUS+ programme in general can be found on the homepage of International Relations Office of the University of Innsbruck and on the website of the National Agency: http://www.erasmusplus.at/

4 Further steps
After the application deadlines and hopefully after you have all accepted an Erasmus place, you will receive further information and access to an OLAT course, through which the International Office of the University of Innsbruck offers webinars on the next steps and where you will find further documents and checklists.
One of the most important next steps is course recognition via an Online Learning Agreement. Please inform yourself well in advance about the courses offered at your host university, as this part of the preparation is time-consuming.
For most partner universities, it is also necessary for you to register directly at the university in question. You are responsible for obtaining the relevant information and any signatures and meeting the relevant deadlines - so make sure you do this in good time and check your emails regularly.
Courses totalling 30 ECTS per semester are mandatory. This corresponds to one semester's coursework.
The Online Learning Agreement must be signed by you and your academic supervisor (Ass.-Prof. Dr. Dr. Julia Pröll) and, if applicable, by other people and will subsequently be confirmed by the host university.
You can find a useful overview of all the necessary steps for an ERASMUS+ stay from application to return: here
