- Participation requirements/selection
-
Cooperations projects with "Erasmus+ with partner countries" are usually supervised by a faculty or department. This is also where the participants are selected. Detailed information on selection and application deadlines can be obtained from the relevant contact person or, for all projects, from the program coordinator for Erasmus+ with partner countries at the International Office.
General selection criteria are motivation, previous academic achievements and language skills.
Please note that the EU provides special funding for participants with disabilities or restrictions.
- Funding rates for student exchange
-
The financial support for Erasmus+ stays in partner countries has been defined at European level by the European Commission.
Requirement for funding is a minimum stay of 3 months.
Both students from the University of Stuttgart who are sent to a program country and students from a program country who spend their Erasmus+ stay at the University of Stuttgart are eligible for funding. The funding rates are different in each case:
Home country
Host country
Funding
Germany
Partner country
700 € per month
Partner country

850 € per month
Students also receive an additional Erasmus+ grant as a contribution to travel expenses. The refund depends on the real distance between the starting point and the destination of the mobility and is calculated with the "distance calculator".
