How to organise your semester abroad
As a freemover, you must organise your semester abroad independently, outside of traditional exchange programmes. This allows you to study at any university, even without an official partnership. The PROMOS scholarship provides financial support for up to 3 months, and longer stays are possible with additional scholarships or self-funding. The key is to ensure that your time abroad is in line with both your academic goals and your personal development.
Take control of your education and create your own unique journey!
If needed, the team of World of Students, can help you to find a study destination abroad and guide you through the application process.
This is how your funding works
The PROMOS scholarship provides support for study abroad outside the Erasmus+ programme, allowing you to spend a semester at a university either outside Europe or at a European institution without an Erasmus+ agreement. Depending on your destination, you'll receive between EUR 350 and EUR 550 per month for up to 3 months, plus a one-time mobility grant of EUR 1,600.
