1. Erasmus Cooperation Agreement

In order to participate in the Erasmus+ program of the Freie Universität Berlin, several requirements must be met: First, Freie Universität Berlin must have received approval for your mobility group (bachelor's/master's/doctoral) for the country of interest. Furthermore, an inter-institutional agreement must exist between Freie Universität Berlin and the partner university where you would like to take part in an exchange. Unlike Erasmus+ Europe, the inter-institutional agreements for Erasmus+ with partner countries usually apply university-wide for all fields of study.

2. Duration of Stay

A stay abroad with Erasmus+ Worldwide is usually 6 months. In exceptional cases, other periods can be agreed upon, with a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 12 months.

Students can complete one or more mobility periods per study cycle with Erasmus+ (Europe and Worldwide). A total of 12 months can be funded per study cycle (Bachelor, Master, or PhD). For single-cycle programs (Staatsexamen, Diplom, Magister), the student mobility period can be up to 24 months in total.

Please note that mobility periods completed under the LLP-Erasmus+ program (internship, study) are counted towards the maximum period of 12 months/24 months.

3. Who is allowed to go abroad with Erasmus+ Worldwide?

All students who are fully enrolled at Freie Universität Berlin and are studying a subject leading to a recognized academic degree (up to and including a doctorate) may study abroad with the Erasmus+ Worldwide program. Stays abroad typically take place in the 5/6 semester for a bachelor's degree/state examination or in the 3/4 semester for master's.
