Who: Students at university (higher education)

Type: Studies in a foreign univeristy.
Placements: The sending university (the one of the outgoing student) must have a learning agreement with the foreign one (hosting) in order to transfer the ECTS credits (European Credits Transfer System, learn more clicking on the ECTS button at the bottom of the page).
Type of partnership: The student needs to pick courses related to his/her field of study, normally each semester the student needs to pick enough courses to reach 30 ECTS (depending on the universities and the type of learning agreement).
Duration of the contract: From 1 semester up to a full academic year.
Requirements: Be selected by the sending university. The students must go to the international department of their university to know more about the specific requirements.
Travel: Normally the cost of the ticket is not included in the grant, but some universities might offer it to their students.
Accomodation: Almost every hosting university proposes accommodations to their foreign students on the campus or in the city. However, sometimes students may have to find an accommodation his/herself.
