Erasmus+

An Educational Support Program

Erasmus+ is the EU's program to support educational mobility for studying and training in Europe. Studying abroad is the central part of Erasmus+ and has shown to have a positive effect on later job prospects.

Students can study for up to 12 months at a partner institution or for a traineeship, and are eligible for financial support from the Austrian agency for international mobility and cooperation in education, science and research (OeAD) to cover their relocation expenses.

All WVPU degree-seeking students are eligible to participate in the activities that are supported by the Erasmus+ program. Students should apply for student and traineeship mobility in Fall by April 15, and in Spring by Oct. 1.

Please refer to the specific program track for more details or send an email to erasmus@webster.ac.at for more information.

Eligible students must apply by filling in the application form and providing required documents. Students will be asked to sign a Learning Agreement before their mobility takes place to make sure that classes taken abroad will be counted toward their WVPU degree.

Erasmus+ Student Charter highlights your rights and obligations and tells you what you can expect from your sending and receiving organizations at each step of your Erasmus+ experience.

Erasmus+ Additional Information

With Erasmus+, students can apply for financial support for a traineeship abroad relevant to their study program for a minimum of two full calendar months, up to a maximum of 12 months. You can even gain European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) points for it.

“My experience as an Erasmus Intern in Zürich, Switzerland was an amazing experience. I worked at the AußenwirtschaftsCenter WKO, where I supported several projects related to market research, event coordination and bilateral trade relations,” said Mangala Halatschek, a Webster Vienna student studying International Relations.

“During my three months abroad, I learned so much from my colleagues and got to explore a beautiful neighboring country during my free time,” she added.

Eligible students must apply by filling in the appropriate application form (study abroad or traineeship) and providing required documents. Please refer to the specific program track for more details or contact Erasmus+ Office (erasmus@webster.ac.at) and request more information.
