Erasmus+
Call for application 2023/24

• You must be studying for a degree at BBU and have an active student status during your mobility.
• You must have completed at least one semester at the time of application, except for Master’s, FOSZK, PhD students.
• You must meet the formal application requirements. Ranking is based on the cumulative adjusted credit index and academic and public activity.
• You must have at least B2 proficiency in the language of instruction or be studying in a BBU foreign language program. If you do not have a language certificate, a certificate issued by a language school or the BBU Institute of Foreign Languages will also suffice.
• You can combine your period of study with an internship, so that the internship as part of your learning mobility takes place under the supervision of the same host higher education institution as the one where you are studying. The funding rates for such a “combined period” are the same as for the study period.
• If you are a student in a doctoral program, you can participate in study mobility programs of either short (5-30 days) or normal (2-12 months) duration.
• If a partner university explicitly promotes such a program, learning mobility can also take the form of blended mobility. The virtual component of such mobility can be online cooperative learning or group work. A minimum of 2 months of physical mobility is required. Grants may only be awarded for this part.
• The maximum cumulative duration of mobility in a training cycle is 12 months.
• A signed Learning Agreement agreed upon the content of the mobility is required before starting the study abroad.
• The activities carried out during your mobility must fit into your training plan and be related to your studies.
• At the end of the study period, the host institution abroad must issue a Certificate of Study Period/Transcript of Records.
• For study mobility, a minimum of 15 ECTS credits must be completed at the host institution.
• You cannot study abroad with Erasmus during the semester of your final exam.
• BBU is obliged to fully accept the activities undertaken, completed, and certified in the study contract.
• You are also entitled to a study grant from BBU during the period abroad.

Erasmus+ study mobility applications can be submitted via our exchange.uni-bge.hu application site.

In the case of a tie, the final ranking will be based on the evaluation of the motivation letters of the applicants concerned and will be based on the criteria set out in the scoring system. Scholarships will be awarded based on the agreed scoring system, taking into account the planned application framework. The decision is conditional and will be final only if the institutional budget is paid. All applicants will be notified by email.

It is important to be well-informed about the courses offered by the partner institution, the language of instruction, and the cost of living before submitting your application.

You can apply for study mobility to BBU Erasmus+ partner institutions. You can find the list of institutions currently open for applications HERE.

• The list of partners is defined at the institution level, by discipline, and not by faculty. The important thing is that the subjects studied abroad are related to your studies.
• It is up to the applicant to study the partner profile and make a decision based on the relevant courses available.
• You must have a minimum level of B2 or equivalent in one of the languages of instruction of the institution concerned, as certified by a language test, a language school certificate, or a certificate issued by the BBU Institute of Foreign Languages.
• You can apply for mobility to a maximum of 2 host institutions at the same time; the ranking and the number of places available will determine which institution you are awarded the scholarship to.
• In this call for applications, you can apply for the whole academic year 2023/24, for the autumn and spring semester 2023/24. It is recommended to give preference to the spring semester.

In case the Erasmus+ funding will be available, you can calculate the approximate amount of your grant in advance. The grant is a contribution to your mobility plan, but it does not necessarily cover all your costs. Make a budget before you start. The amount will depend on your destination country and the time you spend abroad. It is a flat-rate amount, there is no itemized account, but you will have to prove that you have completed your mobility in accordance with your grant agreement. You will receive the scholarship in one sum in euros after signing the contract.
