The ERASMUS programme (ERASMUS: European Region Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students) of the European Union serves the exchange of students and teachers between European universities. The exchange programme requires a bilateral agreement with the partner university. The programme enables students to spend three to twelve months abroad. More detailed information can be found on the website of the International Office (IO).

Students from all subject areas who have completed at least the first year of a Bachelor's degree programme at the start of the semester abroad can apply. You can find more information about the application process on the Erasmus+ application process page of the International
Office.

You will need the following documents for your application:

1. A printout of the official ERASMUS online application to start the application process
2. A current curriculum vitae
3. High school diploma (possibly with informal information about language skills)
4. Certificate of grades (Bachelor, Master, if available, electronic)
5. A letter of motivation (in bullet points, maximum 1 page) addressing the following points, among others: Why are you interested in studying abroad? Indicate which phase of your studies you are currently in and how your planned stay abroad fits in with your current studies. Please also state what language skills you have. What particularly motivates you about the planned study location?

Submit these documents (preferably digitally as a pdf) to the ERASMUS representative of the Institute of Mathematics (Prof Dr Andreas Stein) by the following deadlines at the latest:
