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. Here you can find our FAQ's.

The allocation per academic year is linked to budget availability. There is currently a maximum funding period due to budget shortages. 

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
