Erasmus Mobility Grants
All students who participate in the Erasmus+ programme are eligible to apply for a generous, non-repayable (conditions apply), Erasmus+ Grant to help with the cost of travelling and living abroad. Supplementary funding is available to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds or with additional support needs.
The grant options include:
Study abroad:
- Up to €370 a month for lower cost of living countries;
- Up to €420 a month for higher cost of living countries;
- Plus additional €120 per month for disadvantaged students.
- Additional grants are available for students with special needs where participation would not be possible without extra financial support.
Work abroad:
- Up to €470 per month for lower cost of living countries
- Up to €520 per month for high cost of living countries; or
- Plus additional €20 per month for disadvantaged students on top of this higher grant amount.
- Additional grants are available for students with special needs where participation would not be possible without extra financial support.
- Unpaid traineeship applications will be given priority as funding available is limited.
There is an additional grant available to the regular study or traineeship grant if you have specific access needs due to physical, mental or health-related conditions. To apply, please email us to indicate your needs and foreseen extra costs. These include (but are not limited to) adapted accommodation, travel assistance, medical assistance, supportive equipment, adaption of learning material, and an accompanying person.
*The funding and amounts are subject to availability and will be calculated based on the duration and destination of your study or work abroad.
How do I apply?
All participating students must submit a grant contract before departure. This must be completed, signed and returned to the NTU Global before leaving NTU.
For any students undertaking two separate Erasmus periods (eg. Modern Languages students spending two semesters in two different countries, or an Erasmus exchange and an Erasmus traineeship), two grant contracts will be required.
Students going on study abroad opportunities will receive the Erasmus+ forms via the Mobility Online. If you are going on a work placement please download and complete the Learning agreement and Grant agreement.
When do I apply?
- For Semester 1 and full year opportunities, the deadline to apply is 31 July,
- For Semester 2, the deadline to apply is 30 November.
When is the grant paid?
Grants are paid out in two instalments. You will receive 70% of your total grant upon arrival at your host institution and the remaining 30% on arrival back to the UK.
Repayment of grant
If you return earlier than planned from your Erasmus placement and have already received Erasmus funding, you will be required to repay all/part of the funding you received to the University. Please bear this in mind if you make any changes to your Erasmus activity.
