If you have a place at one of our European partner universities, you will usually receive a grant from the University of Passau towards the mobility costs associated with studying in an Erasmus+ country. In addition, you do not have to pay tuition fees at the host university.
The amount of the mobility grant depends, on the one hand, on the total amount of funding allocated to the University of Passau for the relevant year. On the other hand, the amount of the grant depends on the host country. The Erasmus+ countries have been divided into country groups, each with a different funding rate:
The International Office will automatically check whether the Erasmus+ Mobility Grant is available; a separate application by the students is not necessary. If necessary, financial support will initially only be provided for part of the granted Erasmus+ period. The remaining time then runs as a so-called 'Zero grant' period without financial support.
If financial support is already available in the form of a scholarship, the parallel funding to Erasmus+ will be reviewed. The Deutschlandstipendium scholarship can be combined with the Erasmus+ scholarship.
Please also inform yourself about further possibilities for financing your stay abroad in Europe or the rest of the world.
If the requirements of the Erasmus+ programme are not met (e.g. submission of the required documents on time, completion of the courses listed in the Learning Agreement, usually 15-30 ECTS per semester, proof of stay for the entire funding period), the financial support may be reclaimed at the end. If less than 15 ECTS are passed, a justification for the shortfall in the number of ECTS must be submitted and a decision will be made on a possible reduction in funding.
