Erasmus+ student mobility - study

Erasmus mobility students - study guide

 

Types of Erasmus mobility:

• Long-term: Mobility Study (SMS) and Mobility Traineeship (SMT) - min. 2 months
• Short-term mobility 5 - 30 days (study or internship)

 

Eligible Participants:

Full-time or part-time students at UCM from the 1st year of Bachelor's degree or recent graduates who have been selected for mobility during their final year of study.

 

Application form, selection procedure

• Every Erasmus mobility participant must go through a transparent selection procedure. The selection procedures for students are organised by the faculties, which also set the criteria.
• The call for applications is usually published on the faculties' websites - students apply there.

 

Online Language Support - OLS

• Each selected student must pass the OLS language proficiency test. The test is compulsory before departure for the placement. The OLS testing is coordinated by the Office of International Relations (OIR).
• Currently, an initial assessment in the language of mobility is mandatory for students with a mobility period of 14 days or more - for both short-term and long-term mobility for both study and internship.
• The result does not serve to influence the selection process.

 

Obligations to the study department

The student is responsible for supplying the necessary documents to the study department both before the mobility and after the return from the mobility. Before departure, the following must be submitted to the study department:

• Learning Agreement - if using OLA, its PDF version.
• Acceptance letter.
• Confirmation of participation in the Erasmus stay.
