Please note: Due to limited budget availability, applications for Erasmus+ BIP grants for the current academic year 2026/27 are currently only accepted on a limited basis and are only possible for BIP mobility programs that have already been pre-reserved. If you have any questions, please contact BOKU International Relations by email.

 

Requirements for students

For a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) and a related Erasmus+ grant, regular students of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna can apply who meet the following requirements:

  • see requirements for short-term-mobilities
  • Fulfillment of the conditions of participation of the organising/coordinating institution of the BIP.

Note: BOKU students and doctoral students who are also BOKU employees and have a valid employment contract during their mobility period can apply for Erasmus+ Staff Mobility funding for short-term mobility, depending on budget availability. To do so, they must apply for a business trip assignment for the mobility period and can receive the Erasmus+ grant retrospectively with a business trip statement in accordance with BOKU's business trip guidelines. For such grants, please contact your supervisor and BOKU-IR in good time.

Erasmus+ duration of funding


All students can receive an Erasmus+ grant for a period of 12 months in the bachelor's program, 12 months in the master's program and 12 months in the doctoral program, i.e. a total of 36 months. These 12 months can be used - in any combination - for Erasmus+ internships, Erasmus+ study visits and/or Blended Intensive Programs (BIPs). Previously completed Erasmus stays at the same study level will be counted against the 12 months, regardless of the university or whether it is a study or internship stay or short term mobility/BIP. 

The allocation per academic year is linked to budget availability. There is currently a maximum funding period due to budget shortages. Only one mobility period per academic year per Erasmus+ program track is permitted per person.

Leave of absence: It is not possible to apply for a leave of absence at the Student Services, as all Erasmus+ participants must be fully enrolled at BOKU during their stay abroad. However, the tuition fee may be waived if your stay takes place during the semester. The ÖH fee must still be paid. See: Exemption from tuition fees
