Let's go: Studying abroad with the Erasmus program of the European Union

Logo Erasmus

The Erasmus program is an academic exchange program funded by the European Union. It is part of the EU education initiative "Erasmus+" and named after the great European humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam. It aims to promote student and faculty mobility within Europe.

Within the framework of Erasmus, study and internship stays in other European countries can be funded for a maximum of one year each. Every year, up to 700,000 students take advantage of this offer. You too can be part of it!

The partnerships do not exist between the European partner universities as a whole, but between individual departments of the respective universities. Therefore, the different departments of Osnabrück University may have different partner institutes.
