Erasmus funding is calculated as follows:
Therefore, please consider the following questions early on:
For an overview of possible scholarship programs, please click here.
In the context of the Erasmus+ program, you receive funding from the EU. The amount of funding depends on the duration of the mobility and the rates of the respective country group.
Please note: Depending on the budget commitment by the EU, it is possible that the funding will be calculated as a lump sum. A firm decision on this will not be made until summer 2024:
Erasmus+ country group 1 - EUR 600.00 per month / daily rate EUR 20.00:
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden.
Erasmus+ country group 2 - EUR 540.00 per month / daily rate EUR 18.00:
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Malta, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Turkey.
The KU has the following study places in the UK and Ireland:
These study places are only for students of English Studies.
Even though the UK is no longer part of the Erasmus+ area, students of English Studies can be funded for a stay of three months for the academic year 25/26 using the remaining funds from the 24/25 budget:
EUR 600.00 monthly / daily rate EUR 20.00.
Prerequisites:
For more information, contact Stephanie Koujou via outgoing@ku.de
In addition to your Erasmus+ grant, you can apply for the top-up for "Green Travel". You can receive this top-up, if you use a means of transport classified as sustainable by the DAAD for the major part of your trip.
The following means of transport are classified as sustainable by the DAAD:
Up to 6 days of travel may be supported.
With your application, you agree on keeping the original proofs for the outward/inbound journey for at least 5 years and to submit them to the International Office of the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt on demand.
Note: The Green Top-up will only be calculated and payed off with the second installment. That is after your mobility when all proofs have been handed in.
Proof: e.g. travel tickets. The proofs will only be uploaded in Mobility Online after your mobility.
In addition to the Erasmus+ grant, students can apply for a "Top-up for participants with fewer opportunities". The top-up is 250,00 Euro per month. Caveat: Top-ups for participants with fewer opportunities are not combinable with each other. This means, if you fulfil more than one of the following criteria, you can only receive a maximum amount of 250,00 Euro per month.
Students, of whom no legal guardian has achieved an academic degree (FH or university), may apply for this top-up. A master craftsman’s diploma is NOT classified as an academic degree in this context. Academic degrees achieved by a legal guardian abroad which are not recognised as such in Germany (e.g. physiotherapy), are, however, classified as academic degree. In case of single parents, this regulation applies only to the parent the child lives with.
Proof: Declaration of Honour of legal guardians (single parents: of the parent). You can find the template in your workflow.
Students, who pursue employment with social insurance liability before the start of their mobility and who cannot continue with this employment during their stay abroad, are entitled to apply for this top-up. The terms are the following:
Note: self-employed students and dual or extra-occupational degrees with fixed salary are unfortunately excluded from the application (the DAAD is currently discussing a rectification of this guideline).
Proof: payroll or tax declaration / tax assessment
Students, who travel abroad with their child(ren) may apply for this top-up. The amount is independent of the number of children. With the application, you agree on submitting a proof that you are in charge of the child and that the child will be travelling with you. The additional funds may also be granted to pairs. However, a double funding of a child is not possible.
Note: Students with child(ren) may either apply for this top-up or for the compensation of the real costs. If applying for the latter, all real costs have to be proven with receipts. If you intend to apply for the compensation of the real costs, please contact the KU International Office before your mobility.
Proof: copy of birth certificate and travel tickets of your child.
Students with a degree of disability of 20 or more and students with a chronical disease which causes additional costs during their stay abroad, are entitled to apply for this top-up. When applying for this top-up, you have to upload a proof for your disability or chronical disease (e.g. medical confirmation or disability certificate).
Note: Students with a disability (degree of disability of 20 or more) or chronical disease may alternatively apply for the compensation of the real costs. In this case, all real costs need to be proven with receipts. If you would like to apply for the compensation of the real costs, please contact the KU International Office before the mobility.
Proof:
For the "Erasmus+" program there are the following formal requirements:
The selection and distribution of study places is carried out by the International Office. The following criteria will be taken into account:
You need a proof of English language skills on level at least B2.
Attention:
Within the framework of ERASMUS study and ERASMUS+ internship, Bachelor students can obtain proof of language proficiency for level B2 based on their Abitur. This is possible for the languages English, French, Spanish and Italian, if all conditions are fulfilled and confirmed by the Abitur certificate:
If all these conditions are met, the Abitur certificate counts as proof of a language certificate for B2. However, it is important to note that the information on the Abitur certificate, especially if it indicates a language level of B2+/C1, is only indicative. These do not necessarily reflect the academic language level required for a C1 certificate.
Students who wish to prove their knowledge at C1 level must therefore take an official language test. Recommended tests for this are the TOEFL iBT or the Academic IELTS. These tests are internationally recognized and provide a precise and reliable assessment of your language skills at an academic level.
For the partner university Mary Immaculate College in Limerick, Ireland the same requirements apply as for Erasmus+ UK. This partner university is for English Studies students only.
In the program "Erasmus+ for the UK/Ireland and Israel there are the following formal requirements:
The selection and distribution of places is done by the International Office. The following criteria will be taken into account:
For further information contact Ms. Koujou via outgoing(at)ku.de for questions about UK/Ireland or Ms. Langenwald via outgoing(at)ku.de for questions about Israel.
