Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Programme

For over 30 years, Europe has funded the  Erasmus programme, which has enabled over  four million European students to spend part of their studies in another higher education institution (HEI) in Europe. In 2015, Erasmus+ opened up these opportunities, funding mobility from other parts of the world to "Programme Countries", and for outgoing mobility for European students to go to "Partner Countries”.

Credit mobility can be defined as a limited period of study or traineeship abroad (in the framework of ongoing studies at a home institution) for the purpose of gaining credits. After the mobility phase, students return to their home institution, where the credits are recognised and they complete their studies.

How does it work?

Students and doctoral candidates are able to study abroad for a period of 3 months (or one academic term or trimester), up to a maximum of 12 months in each study cycle and may benefit from an Erasmus+ grant. As from mid - 2018, traineeships within a company are also possible, for 2 to 12 months. Staff can spend a teaching and/or training period abroad from 5 days (excluding travel) to a maximum of 2 months and may also benefit from a grant. The grant for staff may provide funding for two additional days of travel (one before and one after the mobility).

In order for the mobility to happen, a HEI in a Programme Country must sign an inter -institutional agreement with a HEI in a Partner Country. Under this agreement, it can host students, doctoral candidates or staff from the Partner Country HEI, and can also send students, doctoral candidates or staff to the Partner Country HEI. In the agreement, the sending and receiving institutions agree on the range of courses open to visiting students and on the options for staff mobility. These agreements make sure that the sending institution will recognise the credits gained by its students for successfully completed activities abroad, which will contribute to the student's degree once they return. Programme Country HEIs require an Erasmus Chart er for Higher Education to apply and take part; by signing the inter - institutional agreement, Partner Country HEIs agree to adhere to these principles.

How is it funded?

Each Erasmus+ National Agency established in a Programme Country has a budget to fund a number of mobility projects between HEIs in that Programme Country and those in Partner Countries.

Institutions from Programme Countries can apply to their National Agency to organise projects with  HEIs in one or more Partner Countries. The National Agency awards the successful HEIs a grant to cover the mobility of a number of students and staff. This grant will cover the cost of the individual grants and also include a portion for organisational support.
