Doctoral candidate mobility (PhD students)
Opportunities for doctoral candidates
The current Erasmus+ programme generation (2021-2027) has seen a significant increase in the number of opportunities to spend time abroad.
Depending on their status, doctoral candidates essentially have the following options for going abroad:
1. Student status
If you are enrolled at the University of Oldenburg, you can apply for Erasmus+ funding for:
- Long-term mobility lasting between two and twelve months (optionally combined with a virtual period)
- Short-term mobility with a duration of 5 - 30 days (optionally with a virtual phase), if participating in a BIP with mandatory virtual phase
These funding options are available for an internship or study abroad. However, most doctoral candidates use internship grants, which are also available for universities abroad.
To get an Erasmus grant for studying abroad, an inter-institutional Erasmus agreement must be in place between the universities which also includes teaching mobility. Find out more here.
2. Contractual relationship with the home university
If you are employed at the University of Oldenburg, e.g. as a research assistant, you can apply for an Erasmus+ grant for the following:
- Teaching mobility (optionally combined with a virtual period)
An inter-institutional Erasmus agreement must be in place between the universities which also includes teaching mobility. Find out more here. - Staff mobility for further education and training (optional virtual phase)
