Duration of funding and payment

The funding is paid out in 2 instalments (to the daycalculation after completion of the mobility). The first instalment will be paid before the start of the internship, the second instalment will be paid after all final documents (e.g. written progress report) are submitted.Participating students will be informed about the exact payment modalities as well as other funding conditions with their Grant Agreement.The minimum duration of an Erasmus+ internship is 2 months (= 60 days). If the duration is less than the minimum duration, the complete entitlement to funding expires. In the case of cancellations due to illness, proof (= medical certificate) must be submitted. In this case, even if the minimum duration is not reached, the share of the days actually spent abroad for studying can be kept and only the amounts paid in excess must be repaid.

Possibilities of additional funding: (please note that we grant a maximum of one additional funding / one so-called Top Up)

Students whose study or internship abroad cannot be covered by the ERASMUS programme have the possibility to submit a PROMOS application. This programme can be used to support study and practical training periods as well as short stays such as language courses and summer schools of students worldwide by means of partial scholarships, flat-rate travel expenses and course fees.

Please submit your application via Mobility Online.

In order to promote the internationalization of Bavarian universities and the mobility of students, the Bavarian State Ministry for Education, Culture, Science and Arts has made available funding for internships and study abroad, which can be granted upon application by outgoing students (as an alternative to PROMOS or ERASMUS) or foreign students (incoming students).

The respective funding depends on the total amount of funding provided annually to Landshut University of Applied Sciences and can therefore vary considerably.

Please submit your application via Mobility Online.

The selection for the scholarships, which are directly administered by the university (ERASMUS/PROMOS/StaMi), will be made according to the following principles:

• transparent application procedure
• qualitative selection procedure (selection board: university management and International Office)
• Information and advice on applications and possible funding levels
• non-discriminatory selection (within the meaning of the AGG). ERASMUS+ promotes equal opportunities and inclusion. For this reason, access to the ERASMUS+ programme is made easier for learners from disadvantaged backgrounds and with special needs.

• Selection on the basis of the following objective, performance-related criteria:
  • Study performance and progress
  • Relevance of the stay abraod
  • Language skills
  • Only for ERAMUS: compulsory ONLINE language test
  • Only for StaMi - applications: Annual income (incl. parental support) on average max. 15,000 euros before the stay

• You will be informed about the decision as early as possible (usually in the summer semester in February and in the winter semester at the beginning of August).

Immediately after completion of the measure, all grant beneficiaries are required to submit a report of at least 1 page to the International Office. 

ERASMUS+ participants will also receive an ONLINE link from the DAAD at the end of their stay abroad. Please note that the reports must be prepared in order to receive the total funding!

For further questions please contact the International Office.

The application portal is a dialogue system. The steps that have already been completed appear as green boxes, the next steps to be completed are indicated by red boxes. If you are stuck in your application workflow, this means that you have to wait for an answer from the International Office. This will be done either directly in the portal or by e-mail.

The International Office will automatically send you the Erasmus+ Learning Agreement Student Mobility for Traineeships AFTER the application, as well as a form for the confirmation of an international health insurance and a link to the language test (OLS). Following this, a Grant Agreement for funding will be issued.

• In case of a claim for Top-Ups (e.g. severe disability, Green Travel), please additionally fill in the declaration of honour for Top-Ups and upload it into the system together with the respective proofs.
