Let the journey begin!

You can apply for an Erasmus+ place at one of our partner universities every year between the beginning of December and the beginning of February .

After the deadline, the coordinators will select the most suitable candidates and you will be informed a few weeks after the deadline whether you have been selected for your favorite destination.

After the first round, if there are still openings, there further calls will open (usually in March, June and August).

!!! Please note that the deadlines change every year and the ones mentioned here are only indicative. You can find the current dates on the website of the International Relations Office.

• You must be enrolled in a law degree program (i.e. diploma, BA, MA, doctorate), and

• have completed at least the first year (about 50 to 60 ECTS).

• You must not be employed by the University of Graz.

• Language skills: Depending on the host university, different language skills are required. You can usually find this information on the website of the host university. Depending on the requirements set by the host university, you may need proof of your language skills (e.g. high school diploma, course certificates, etc.). Please note: You may be required to provide additional standardized proof (e.g. official language certificate) for the host university - but only once you have been accepted.

Yes, namely:

• Erasmus grant: To cover increased living costs abroad. The current grant amount can be found on the website of the International Relations Office - it varies from country to country and is between € 420 and € 520 per month.

• REWI Top Up: we offer you a one-off grant of € 500.

• Top Up Green Mobility: In addition to the ERASMUS grant, there is also a travel grant for environmentally friendly travel (one-off € 50 for up to 4 days of travel)

• Top Up for students with fewer opportunities: in addition to the ERASMUS grant, you will receive € 250 per month if you:

  • have children requiring care who are taken to the place of study;

  • have a disability pass;

  • are chronically ill and this results in increased financial expenses during your stay abroad (allergies and food intolerances are excluded).

• Inclusion support: This is intended to cover the additional financial costs incurred primarily by participants with physical, mental or health impairments. In this case, the costs are charged according to actual costs. Inclusion support also enables a preparatory visit and supports these additional costs. Accompanying persons can also be financed in this way. Costs may only be incurred after the agreement has been signed. The following people can apply for inclusion support:

  • Students with fewer opportunities (see above: can be obtained at the same time)

  • Erasmus+ students who do not belong to the group of participants with fewer opportunities defined in Austria, but who can nevertheless prove that they have a real need for additional financial support on a real cost basis.

• International grant: If you receive Austrian study grant, you can also apply for an international grant - this does not reduce the mobility grant. For more information, please contact the Student Aid Office (0316/81 33 88, Metahofgasse 30, 8020 Graz).
