Important Notes
- The students choosing to go back to their home country will be given lower priority in the selection. They will be listed last during the selection process and will be considered eligible for funding only if there is available grant. However, if a student is selected he/she is allowed to receive the same amount as the other students, independently of their country of origin. Otherwise, a zero-grant mobility can be considered or be offered the minimum eligible funded period which is two months.
- Due to limited funds, some applicants may be offered a Zero Grant mobility or reduced Erasmus Grant. The Erasmus Grant will be discussed in detail with each participant after the selection of successful applicants.
- Distance learning students must do their study mobility in another country than their country of origin and the country of their home University (Cyprus).
- Priority will be given to students in their third/junior year. Students who have not yet completed 24 ECTS credits can nevertheless apply to go for mobility in their second year/semester.
- It is highly recommended that the applicants have a good knowledge of the official language of instruction of the Host Institution.
