    Funding


    Funding

    Erasmus+ funding is provided for the duration of your study abroad program. Please note that funding is limited, and academic performance is used as a criterion for eligibility. It is also possible to participate in mobility programs on a zero-grant basis.

    80% of the grant is paid out before departure, and the remaining 20% after completion, once all required documents have been submitted.

    Study Abroad as a Free-Mover

    Are you interested in a university that isn’t one of our partners?

    In that case, you could study abroad as a free-mover. As a free-mover, you’ll need to arrange your admission to the host university on your own, and you’ll be responsible for covering your own tuition and living expenses there.

    • Students are granted a leave of absence from NDU for one semester and do not pay tuition fees
    • A one-time administrative fee of 450 EUR must be paid to NDU
    • Any tuition fees at the host university must be covered by the student.
    • Course offerings must be reviewed. Students must submit course descriptions from the host university to NDU for review
    • NDU internal application deadlines: June 1 (for the following winter semester) & December 15 (for the following summer semester)

    Erasmus Internships Abroad

    Would you like to gain work experience abroad while receiving financial support? Then an Erasmus+ internship is the right choice for you.

    • For each academic cycle, you can organize up to 12 months of an internship abroad and receive funding. 
    • The minimum duration is 2 months.
    • Students are responsible for finding a suitable host organization; the internship must be relevant to their studies.
    • This is not a mandatory internship but a voluntary one, and ECTS credits cannot be applied toward your degree at NDU.
    • Students can organize an internship during the summer break or a graduate internship. Please note: Applications for graduate internships can only be submitted while you are enrolled (until graduation).
    • It must be a full-time internship and can be completed at companies, training and research institutions, or other organizations.
    • Graduate internships may be started immediately after graduation. A break between graduation and the start of the internship is permitted, but the internship must be completed within 12 months of graduation.


    Example

    • Graduation date: June 20, 2025
    • Start of internship: September 1, 2025
    • End of eligibility for the Erasmus grant: June 19, 2026
