Let the journey begin!

You can apply for an Erasmus+ International place at one of our international partner universities every year between the beginning of December and the beginning of February. The next application round for stays abroad in the winter semester 2024/25, the summer semester 2025 or the entire academic year 2024/25 starts on 4 December 2023 and you can apply for a place until 7 February 2024!

After the application deadline, the coordinators will make the selection. You will find out within a few weeks after the application deadline whether you have been selected for your favorite destination.

If not all places are fully booked, there will be further calls for open remaining places (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 deadlines on the website of the International Relations Office.

For stays within the framework of MoUs, please contact us directly at rewi.international(at)uni-graz.at

The same rules apply for Erasmus Int as well as for the MoUs: (IS IT LIKE THIS? PLEASE CHECK)

• you must be enrolled for a law degree program (i.e. Diplom, BA, MA), and

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

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

• 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 host university, you will need suitable proof for your application to the University of Graz (e.g. high school diploma, course certificates, etc.). Please note: you may need additional standardized proof for the host university (e.g. official language certificate) - but only once you have been accepted to the university

There are various support options within the framework of MoUs and Erasmus+ International.

The following regulations apply to ERASMUS+ International stays:

• Erasmus grant: You will receive €700 per month of stay to cover increased living costs.
• Erasmus grant for short-term PhD mobilities: Up to the 14th day, the grant is approximately €70 per day, from the 15th to the 30th day it is approximately €50 per day
• Travel allowance : this amounts to between € 180 and € 1,500 - the amount of the allowance depends on the distance to the host university.

• REWI Top Up: For all our students there is a grant of € 500 (one-off).

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

• TopUp for students with fewer opportunities: You will receive an additional grant of €250/month if you:

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

  • have a disability pass.

  • are chronically ill and therefore have increased financial expenses during your stay abroad (allergies and food intolerances are excluded).

• Inclusionsupport: If the top-up is not sufficient for students with fewer opportunities, you can apply for inclusion support if you have a disability or chronic illness. If you have any questions, please contact the International Relations Office.

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