Erasmus+ grant for exchange studies

Approximate application periods during the year

Applications for exchanges that start in the autumn semester open in June and close at the end of the autumn semester.

Applications for exchanges that start in the spring semester open in November/December and close at the end of the spring semester.

You must submit your application in the Erasmus Database no later than one month before your exchange period begins. The processing time is up to 30 days. Mobility days that take place before your complete application has been processed are not eligible for a grant. According to the regulations, the Grant Agreement must be signed by both you and Erasmus studies before the exchange period begins. You cannot apply for the scholarship retroactively.

To be eligible to apply for a grant, you must

• be registered as a student at Lund University
• be nominated for Erasmus+ exchange studies through Lund University
• have been promised full recognition by Lund University of your studies at the host university upon your return
• study full-time (the equivalent of 1.5 ECTS/week)
• study at least 2 and at the most 12 months
• live in the host country for the duration of the exchange (this also applies to exchange studies in Denmark).

However, you may not

• have previously participated in Erasmus/Erasmus+ studies or traineeships for more than 12 months* in total at the same level of study (Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral studies are counted separately), including the study period for which you are applying
• pay tuition fees to the host university
• receive grants from other EU bodies or the Crafoord Foundation’s travel grant for the same exchange period.
• apply for a grant if you already live in the host country (for example in Denmark).

*Students who are studying a so-called 'one-cycle programme' (a degree programme in medicine/architecture/engineering) are eligible to study abroad for 24 months on an Erasmus+ exchange during their studies. However, each mobility period must not exceed 12 months.

Definition:
Exchange studies combine physical and virtual mobility, and take place

• partly on site, in the host country, and
• partly virtually.

Grant application: 
If you are going to participate in a blended mobility, you can only receive an Erasmus+ grant for the part of the exchange that you physically carry out in the host country.

Please note:
When the physical mobility transitions to the planned virtual mobility phase, you will not be entitled to the Erasmus+ grant. This applies even if you decide to stay in the host country to complete the virtual part of the exchange.

Definition:
Exchange studies are conducted virtually.

Grant application:
If you are going to participate in a virtual mobility, you are not eligible to apply for an Erasmus+ grant.

All students receive a travel support based on the distance (one way) between Lund University and the host university. You can receive a higher travel support if you choose to travel green, i.e. by train, bus, electric car or carpool using one of the options below:

• the whole of the journey in one direction
• most of the journey, in both directions.

You apply for green travel at the same time as completing your application for an Erasmus+ grant, by ticking 'Yes' for the 'Green Mobility' option.

You provide evidence of green travel by uploading copies of tickets to the Erasmus Database no later than 30 days after the mobility has ended. Receipts submitted later will not be processed.

To qualify for the car-sharing allowance, at least two people must travel in the car, excluding family members or friends who are only accompanying you to/drop you off at your destination. 

Proof in the form of receipts for car hire, petrol and the completed and signed 'Green Travel Certificate' form must be uploaded to the Erasmus Database. You can find the form in the Erasmus Database under the heading 'Important documents'.

Available support depends on the travel distance and Green travel versus Non-Green travel:

• 10−99 km: Green travel EUR 56; Non-Green travel EUR 28
• 100−499 km: Green travel EUR 285; Non-Green travel EUR 211
• 500−1999 km: Green travel EUR 417; Non-Green travel EUR 309
• 2000−2999 km: Green travel EUR 535; Non-Green travel EUR 395

See the Insurance tab further down the page for information on the terms and conditions of Student UT insurance in connection with travel to and from the host country.

Travel Days

If you choose to travel sustainably, you will also receive a grant for one day of travel (100% of the journey must be green). If you choose to travel sustainably in both directions, you will receive a grant for two days of travel (more than 50% of the journey in each direction must then be green). If you qualify for Fewer opportunity top-up or carry out short mobility (5-30 days) you get two travel days regardless of the mode of travel.

Regardless of the mode of travel, you always receive 2 travel days for:

• Fewer opportunity top-up
• If you have children
• If you undertake a short mobility (5-30 days)

Travel days will be added to your total study period. The travel day cannot be the same day as a study day, since you cannot receive double scholarship for one day.

Students with permanent or long-term disabilities, including disabilities caused by physical or mental health issues, can apply for extra funding. Examples of disabilities include chronic illnesses, dyslexia, deafness, blindness, mobility impairments, neuropsychiatric disabilities (such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, Tourette syndrome).

Top-up grant

Students with any type of disability can apply for a top-up grant. 

The supplement is EUR 250 per full month and EUR 8.33 per additional day on top of the regular grant amount. For short mobility (5–30 days), the supplement is 100 Euros if the physical mobility is 5–14 days or 150 Euros if the physical mobility is 15–30 days.

You will receive 70 percent of the supplement along with your first grant payment. The remaining 30 percent will be paid along with your second payment. Remember that the amount will be adjusted if your period of study changes.

You do not need to keep any receipts or other documents.

You can only get one Top-up per mobility, i.e. you cannot get a Top-up for both disability and children.

If you have not previously been in contact with Disability Support Services and  have a disability, contact them for a consultation. 

Disability Support Services – students with disabilities

How to apply for a top-up grant

When you are submitting an application in the Erasmus Database, select 'Yes' for the 'Fewer Opportunities' option. 

To apply for the Top-up, a NAIS (National Administration and Information System for Coordinators) certificate from Educational Support Services is required. The NAIS certificate is necessary even if you do not need accommodations for your studies.

You will receive an email from the Erasmus Database asking you to sign your Grant Agreement and to upload your NAIS certificate under the 'Verify Fewer Opportunities' option.

You do not need to justify your application for a top-up grant – just upload your NAIS certificate. Please note that other certificates will not be accepted.

Inclusion grant for actual costs

It is possible to apply for this grant in addition to a top-up grant. The inclusion grant is intended to cover larger costs that you or your host university may incur during your stay abroad, such as

• special transport
• adapted accommodation
• assistant/companion
• healthcare or similar in the host country.

How to apply for an inclusion grant

Contact your coordinator at Disability Support Services in good time to apply for this grant. Please note that the application for an inclusion grant must be completed before the mobility period begins. It is not possible to apply for this grant retroactively.

Contact the host university to check what costs may be involved. You can get the relevant contact details from your faculty’s international office.

Disability Support Services will send your application to the grant administrators, who will then forward it to the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR). UHR will assess your application and decide which costs can be reimbursed.

The inclusion grant is paid out after the mobility period has been completed.

The host university can send an invoice to Lund University for costs that have been incurred during your exchange. Contact the grant administrators at erasmusstudier [at] er [dot] lu [dot] se (erasmusstudier[at]er[dot]lu[dot]se) for invoice details.

To receive reimbursement for the costs you have paid, please remember to keep all your receipts. These must be uploaded to the Erasmus Database (under the 'Other documents' tab) when the period of mobility has ended.

Please note that UHR assesses and decides which costs can be reimbursed.

For those of you who have children, there is an opportunity to apply for additional grants. There are two types of grant, the top-up grant and the inclusion grant.

Top-up

If you study abroad and have children younger than 18, the supplement is EUR 250 per full month and EUR 8.33 per additional day on top of the regular grant amount. For short mobility (5–30 days), the supplement is 100 Euros if the physical mobility is 5–14 days or 150 Euros if the physical mobility is 15–30 days.

The size of the supplement remains the same regardless of the number of children you have or whether they are accompanying you on the exchange. You do not need to keep any receipts or other documents in order to receive the supplement.

You apply for this supplement at the same time as completing your application for an Erasmus+ grant, by ticking 'Yes' for the option 'Children'. You prove your parenthood by uploading a Family Certificate to the Erasmus Database under the tab 'Verify Children'. The Family Certificate is ordered from the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket). It will then be sent by post to the parent’s registered address. You do not need to have it notarised or have a witnessed signature. Please note that no other certification will be accepted.

You will receive 70 percent of the child supplement along with your first grant payment. The remaining 30 percent will be paid along with your second payment. Remember that the amount will be adjusted if your period of mobility changes.

You can only get one Top-up per mobility, i.e. you cannot get a Top-up for both disability and children.

Inclusion grant

In addition to the supplements above, the grant administrators may apply for an inclusion grant for costs that arise when the child accompanies you on the exchange, such as higher accommodation and childcare costs.

Contact the grant administrators in good time to apply for this grant.

Please note that the application for an inclusion grant must be completed before the mobility period begins. It is not possible to apply for this grant retroactively.

You can contact the grant administrators via erasmusstudier [at] er [dot] lu [dot] se (erasmusstudier[at]er[dot]lu[dot]se).

The Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) makes the assessment and decides which costs can be reimbursed.

The inclusion grant is paid out once the mobility period has been completed and after receipts have been submitted. These must be uploaded to the Erasmus database under the tab 'Other documents'.

The Erasmus+ programme offers digital language courses in connection with the language test. Participation in these courses is free and voluntary.

If you choose to take a language course offered by the host university, you are eligible to apply for a grant for the days the language course is in progress. This only applies if the language course is offered in conjunction with the beginning of your exchange period and is physical (that is, not given digitally). The period during which your language course is in progress must be included in your application in order for you to receive a grant for the language course. After completing the language course, you must upload a certificate showing the start and end dates of the language course to the Erasmus Database (under "Other documents").

Note that you cannot replace subject study with language study. Your Learning Agreement must always include full-time subject studies (1.5 ECTS/week) and any language courses must be in addition to this.

An Online Learning Agreement (OLA) is a three-party contract between the sending university, the student and the host university. The document is created to ensure that the courses you take at the host university count towards your degree.

Lund University uses the OLA in the mobility system SoleMove. Instructions on how to complete the OLA can be found here:

Online Learning agreement for outgoing exchange students

Your OLA must be in place before the start of your exchange period. It must be signed by you, Lund University and the host university. Contact your faculty coordinator if you have any questions about the content of your OLA.

It is possible to apply for an Erasmus+ grant before you have completed your OLA.

Please note that full-time study is equivalent to 30 ECTS credits per semester. If you intend to study for a shorter period, you will need to study 1.5 ECTS credits per week. Therefore, if you plan to study for 10 weeks, your OLA must include a total of 15 ECTS credits. The distribution of credits over the weeks doesn't affect your grant eligibility. What matters is that the total number of credits corresponds to the duration of your studies.

However, if you want the credits to correspond to the standard 30 ECTS credits for a full semester at Lund University, you must study at least 30 ECTS credits. This applies regardless of the number of weeks you study abroad.

The payments will be made in SEK in two instalments.

The first payment will be approximately 70 percent of the estimated total grant amount. In order to receive this payment, you must

• have provided bank details
• have uploaded the language test required for Erasmus+ students to the Erasmus Database
• have signed and uploaded your Grant Agreement to the Erasmus Database
• have uploaded the NAIS certificate to the Erasmus database (only when applying for disability)
• have uploaded certificate from the Swedish Tax Agency to the Erasmus database (only when applying for children)
• have uploaded rental agreement in the Erasmus database (only in case of mobility in Denmark)

The second payment, which will be approximately 30 percent of the grant, is paid out when you have finished your exchange period, and you

• have uploaded the form 'Confirmation of Study Period' to the Erasmus Database. The form must be signed and stamped by the host university. You can find it under 'Confirm mobility' in the Erasmus Database.
• have completed a mandatory survey from Erasmus+ (Participant Report). The survey will be sent by email.
• have uploaded tickets (only when applying for green travel)

Please note that the total grant amount is calculated after you have completed your studies and uploaded the form 'Confirmation of Study Period' to the Erasmus Database. If your study period is shorter than planned, the grant will be recalculated, and the total amount will be adjusted through the second payment.

If you are going on an exchange during the autumn semester, you will receive your first payment at the beginning of September at the earliest. If you are going on an exchange during the spring semester, you will receive your first payment at the beginning of January at the earliest.

Be aware that you will need to plan ahead in order to receive your payment on time. It takes at least three weeks from the time you take the language test until the first payment is made to your bank account. Payments may be delayed in certain cases if Lund University does not receive the EU funding from the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) in time.

Change of mobility

Your Grant Agreement (GA) specifies the dates for which you have been awarded the scholarship. If the dates of your mobility change, i.e., the mobility starts earlier or ends later than planned, you must contact erasmusstudier [at] er [dot] lu [dot] se to request a change of your mobility. 

If the mobility starts earlier than the start date in your GA, you must contact erasmusstudier [at] er [dot] lu [dot] se before the mobility begins. You will then receive a corrected GA which you must sign and upload to the Erasmus database for the change to be valid, and the documentation must be submitted before the mobility begins.

If the mobility ends later than planned, you must contact erasmusstudier [at] er [dot] lu [dot] se at least one month before the approved end date in the GA. You will then receive a corrected GA which you must sign and upload to the Erasmus database for the change to be valid, and the document must have been submitted no later than two weeks before the approved end date in the GA.

If the change concerns a whole semester or means that you will take more credits than what
 is stated in the existing Online Learning Agreement (OLA), you must also make changes to your
OLA. Contact your faculty coordinator at Lund University regarding your OLA.  

If the change concerns an entire semester, this must be entered in Ladok in order to be
approved.  

Note that you cannot receive a scholarship for dates earlier or later than those specified in your GA even though the form "Confirmation of study period" shows longer period. In that case, you must have requested a change of your mobility according to the instructions above.

Early termination of exchange studies

You must contact your coordinator and the grant administrators at erasmusstudier [at] er [dot] lu [dot] se (erasmusstudier[at]er[dot]lu[dot]se) if you need to shorten your Erasmus+ exchange studies.

If you shorten your studies to less than 2 months, you will be liable to repay the entire grant.

If this is due to a situation beyond your control, you can invoke 'Force Majeure'. The Erasmus+ grant administrators will help you with this.

As an outgoing student, you must be prepared to take on a lot of personal responsibility, both before and during your stay abroad. The webpage 'Practical information for students going abroad' is a good source of information. Read more about:

• Preparing for your departure
• While you are away
• After your return

Practical information for students going abroad

Student OUT

If you are going to take part in a physical mobility (see the European Commission's definition above), you are covered by the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency’s insurance, Student OUT. Read more about the insurance:

Insurance while you are abroad

Terms and conditions for Student OUT – kammarkollegiet.se

If you are going to take part in a virtual mobility (see the European Commission’s definition above), you are not covered by Student OUT, so you must arrange your own insurance.

If you have questions about insurance, contact External Relations at Lund University at studentinsurance [at] er [dot] lu [dot] se (studentinsurance[at]er[dot]lu[dot]se).

European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)

If you are from an EU/EEA country, take your European Health Insurance Card with you. It entitles you to emergency medical treatment when you are in another EU/EEA country.

Read more and order your card from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Forsäkringskassan):

Travel abroad – forsakringskassan.se

The Interrail Pass for Erasmus+ has been developed by Eurail and Erasmus Student Network (ESN) to suit Erasmus+ students on exchange. The Pass is valid for 6 months and offers a sustainable way to travel and gives you flexibility to explore Europe as part of your Erasmus+ experience.

4-travel days or 6-travel days

With the Interrail Pass for Erasmus+ you can travel on as many trains as you like on each of your 4 or 6 travel days. You can use your travel days any time within 6 months of your start date. 

Interrail Pass for Erasmus+

Please note, that exchange students are covered by the insurance Student OUT in their country of study, and during direct travel from home country to host country. So, if you plan to visit other countries while on exchange, remember to get a private insurance for those trips.

Our Instagram account @lund_university_abroad is run by students, for students. Every week, a new student from Lund University who is on an exchange or traineeship abroad takes over the account and shares their day-to-day experiences of their time abroad.

Would you also like to become a guest Instagrammer and inspire other students to study abroad?

Contact lunduniversityabroad [at] er [dot] lu [dot] se (lunduniversityabroad[at]er[dot]lu[dot]se).

Before you leave, you must ask your host university to sign the form 'Confirmation of Study Period'.

1. Download the 'Confirmation of Study Period' form. You can find it under 'Confirm mobility' in the Erasmus Database. The form will be available in the Erasmus database one week before the end date specified in the Grant Agreement (GA).
2. Make sure the form is signed and stamped by your host university and it should also include introductory days and language courses if applicable. The form should not be signed until your last day of mobility at the host university. This is because the host university must be able to certify your physical presence for the entire period. If the form is signed before the last date of mobility, the date the form was signed will be considered the end date of your mobility. Note that you will then receive a lower scholarship amount than stated in the GA. This is an EU regulation, and we cannot make any exceptions.

Upload the document to the Erasmus database on your return.

Note that you cannot receive a scholarship for dates earlier or later than those specified in your GA even though the form "Confirmation of study period" shows a longer period. In that case, you must have requested  a change of your mobility according to the instructions above.

Digitally signed "Confirmation of Study Period" form 
If the "Confirmation of Study Period" form is digitally signed by the host university, you must also upload the email from the university where the document was sent. Save the email as a PDF file and upload it to the Erasmus database under "Other documents". The email serves as proof that the coordinator's digital signature is valid.

You must upload the 'Confirmation of Study Period' form to the Erasmus Database no later than 30 days after the end of the mobility. Download the form from the Erasmus Database. The form will be available in the Erasmus database one week before the end date specified in the Grant Agreement (GA). Instructions for the form are available above under the tab "Confirmation of Study Period – to be signed by the host university before you return”.

After completing your exchange, you will need to complete a mandatory Erasmus+ survey (Participant Report). The survey will be sent to your email address.

The survey must be uploaded to the Erasmus Database no later than 30 days after the end of the mobility.

If you have applied for green travel, you need to upload tickets in the Erasmus database no later than 30 days after the end of mobility.
