Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is the worlds largest exchange programme and offers both studies and internships in Europe.
    • As Erasmus+ student you do not pay tuition fee when traveling to another Erasmus+ institution
    • You can exchange more than once – both on bachelor and master level
    • You receive an Erasmus Grant

    As a Nord University student you do not need to apply for a Erasmus+ grant. Students who have had an approved application for an exchange to an Erasmus+ partner university or an application for practice in Europe will automatically have their application for a scholarship processed.

    • Green travel grant: EUR 50
    • Students with fewer opportunities: additional grant for EUR 250 per month

    The grant amount will vary depending on the length of stay, host country and living situation.


    Payment of scholarship:

    The scholarship is paid in two or three installments depending on the length of the stay abroad. At the start of the stay, 80% of the scholarship amount is paid for the entire stay. The rest is recalculated after providing documentation that confirms the length of stay and is paid approx. 1 month after the end of your stay abroad.


    Students who withdraw before they have spent two months abroad must repay the full amount of the scholarship they have been paid.

  • The Erasmus+ program promotes equal access and equal opportunities for participation for all students regardless of background and social and health conditions. The following students are defined as students with fewer opportunities:

    • Students with refugee status
    • Students with children, regardless of whether the child is on the trip or not
    • Students with disabilities and permanent chronic illnesses that prevent full participation in society on an equal basis with others (doctor's certificate required).


    Students with fewer opportunities who participate in the Erasmus+ program are entitled to an additional grant. Apply for additional grants.
