General Information About Erasmus+
Within the framework of the ERASMUS+ program, the European Union promotes partnerships in higher education and the associated student exchange in the 28 member states of the EU as well as in Turkey, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Macedonia and Switzerland.
Students of the University of Leipzig, regardless of their citizenship, can use the possibilities of the ERASMUS+ program for a maximum of 12 months per study phase from the 2nd year of study until the attainment of the first doctoral degree and study at one of the numerous universities or complete internships in other countries.
The Faculty of Education makes it possible especially for students in the teaching profession, but also for academics, through bilateral agreements with universities in other European countries to study at a teacher training institution or to carry out a host teaching position.
Erasmus+ Study
Would you like to spend three to twelve months studying at a partner university in another European country? Then apply for Erasmus+ funding!
Advantages of Erasmus+ studies at a glance:

1. Agree on Study Plans
Before your stay abroad, talk to your Erasmus+ subject coordinator Dr. Christian Hahn about which courses at the foreign partner university can be recognized towards your studies. Please inform yourself about possible courses at your preferred universities. Often a glance at the most recent course catalog is sufficient. To speed up the process, it would be desirable if you could translate module descriptions that are not available in German or English into German using common websites (e.g. deepl.com).
2. Create a Study Agreement (Learning Agreement)
Create the study agreement after consultation with your Erasmus+ Coordinator Dr. Christian Hahn before starting your stay abroad. You can find an explanatory video on how to draw up the study agreement here.
The following criteria apply for the recognition of your achievements completed at the partner university:
- the learning outcomes and competencies are comparable (mentioned in module description)
- the level of study is comparable
- the courses fit into the qualification goal and study profile of your study program
- the amount of work to be done is comparable
Erasmus+ Internship
Through Erasmus+, you also have the option of receiving funding for a self-organized internship. The start and end dates of the internship are freely selectable. The internship must last at least 60 days.
