Erasmus+ is an exchange programme funded by the European Union that promotes study visits and internships in Europe. The department is actively involved in European exchanges via ERASMUS+ and information events on the period of study abroad are held regularly. Please look out for notices at the Department. Potential outgoers should also attend the regular introductory event ("Erstberatung Auslandsstudium" [initial counselling]) organised by the International Office (Domstraße 8) to find out about the details from early on.

Duration
You can be funded several times in Erasmus+ from the 3rd subject semester onwards. You are entitled to 12 months of mobility (study and/or internship) per study phase (bachelor's/master's/PhD). In the Diplom and State Examination programmes, it is a total of 24 months. Graduates can be funded for an internship up to one year after their qualification (minus the months already funded up to that point).
Planning
The application and stay process is as follows:
- Initial counselling at the International Office
- Information, counselling and selection of the host university
- Application and selection at the respective department. Please note! Applications must be submitted for the winter semester AND summer semester (!) of the following academic year
- Registration at the host university (from February) by the IO
- (Final) drawing up of the Learning Agreement
- Stay abroad
- Recognition of credits by the subject coordinator in the department after return
Application
In general, the application consists of a cover letter, a tabular CV, Transcript of Records, an overview of your studies and language certificates. The selection criteria are based on these documents.
For the exact modalities, please refer to the current notices at the Department or the calls for proposals under "Current information". If you have been nominated for an exchange place, your data will be forwarded to the International Office by 31 January. You will then receive all further information on the application process at the partner university from the International Office.
Subsequent nomination
If not all places have been allocated by 31 January, a subsequent nomination process for remaining places will take place in the subject areas in the summer semester of the respective application period. Information on the period and the call for proposals will be announced under "Current information" and on the pages of the International Office.
Extension of the stay
Please contact the host university first to find out about a possible extension of the period of stay abroad. Then contact the Erasmus coordinators at the International Office, whereby the extension request must be received by the IO at least 1 month before the end of your planned stay.
Procedure
- Attend an initial consultation at the International Office (further information here).
- Gather information and advice on recognition of credits and subject relevance within your own subject area
- Search and appy for an internship at your own accord
- Submit application for funding to the International Office (at least 2 months before the start of the internship) - confirmation that the student has been accepted for an internship must be provided
Please note! EU institutions, institutions with EU programmes and German diplomatic missions are excluded. The DAAD's Carlo Schmid Programme is available for these.
Guest lectureships / continuous professional development
Erasmus+ provides funding for guest lectureships (STA) at European partner universities with which there is an existing Erasmus+ agreement in the relevant subject area.
Further information
Guest lecturers are expected to enhance the European dimension of the host university, complement its range of courses, and share their expertise with students who are unable or unwilling to study abroad.
Periods of teaching abroad within Europe last between two days and two months (excluding travel time); the teaching load is at least eight hours per stay or per week, or part thereof.
The Staff Mobility – Staff Training (STT) programme enables employees of the University of Greifswald to undertake continuing professional development at an Erasmus+ partner university or external institution.
The requirement is a minimum stay of two working days (with a maximum of two additional days for travel to and from the destination). As a rule, stays of one week are funded (up to a maximum of two months).
Selection period: Ongoing
Selection criteria: Priority is given to first-time stays within the framework of Erasmus+ and to stays that strengthen partnerships in the subject area and in line with the Internationalisation Strategy (with a focus on the Baltic Sea region)
Applications and selections are handled by the International Office in consultation with the relevant departmental coordinator
