Opportunities for all students

The European Union's Erasmus+ education program is intended to promote cooperation between European universities, to strengthen Europe as a knowledge society, and support the development of a pan-European, modern-day university community.

Erasmus+ gives students of European universities a unique opportunity to gain international experience during their studies and to position themselves strategically in the labour market. Additionally, the new programme promotes equal opportunities for study abroad with special supplementary grants to meet students with special needs.

Note! The UK and Switzerland are not part of the Erasmus+ programme.

Option in Erasmus+ funding

The following rules apply for allocation of grants to student mobilities:

  • Students at the University of Iceland can apply for mobility grants from various funds. Each mobility can only be awarded one grant.
     
  • Students can receive mobility grants more than once during their studies. The total number of funded months in Erasmus+ cannot exceed 12 months at each study level. Traineeships for recent graduates pertain to the study level the student just graduated from.
     
  • Students can apply for short mobility grants for studying or training abroad for 5-30 days. Students at undergraduate and graduate levels can receive a maximum of one short-term mobility grant per academic year. PhD students can receive a maximum of one short-term mobility grant per semester, and no more than 5 grants in total during their doctoral studies.
     
  • Students who participate in blended mobilities can only be funded for the days spent physically abroad at the host institution.
