Explore mobility destinations
Prepare your application, and choose the selection round that matches your plans.
Overview
Erasmus+ outgoing mobility allows you to study abroad (mobility) or complete an internship (placement), while earning credits toward your Computer Science degree. This page explains the two yearly selection rounds and the full process from planning to departure, in a checklist-friendly format.
Quick Facts
- Two rounds per year: October and March (equal status)
- October targets Semester 2 study mobilities; placements may also be accepted depending on the call
- March targets next-year Semester 1 study mobilities and is preferred for summer placements
- Prepare multiple options (recommended: at least 3 destinations or internship pathways)
- Selection is competitive; academic performance and preparation matter
- Selection does not automatically guarantee departure; host acceptance is required
- A maximum of 10 failed credits is accepted for Erasmus mobilities, but your average has to be above 7.00 (read the methodology carefully)
Selection Rounds
October Round
- Semester 2 study mobilities
- Current academic year
- Placement mobilities may also be available
March Round
- Semester 1 mobilities (next year)
- Preferred for summer internships
- Additional preparation time
Rule of thumb
Apply in October for Semester 2 study mobilities; apply in March for next-year Semester 1 study mobilities and summer placements.
