University of Tours - Student Mobility Funds

Benefit

You receive a one-off grant to help cover a study exchange or a compulsory internship abroad lasting between 1 and 10 months. There is no fixed rate. A committee sets the amount for each case, based on your destination, how long you stay and what other funding you already receive, then pays it in a single sum. The money comes from the University of Tours. It is meant to top up other mobility aid such as Erasmus+, the EU exchange programme.

Eligibility

• University: You are enrolled at the University of Tours and will remain enrolled there during your time abroad.
• Study level: The placement forms part of your degree programme. To take part in an exchange programme, you must be in at least the second year of a Bachelor’s degree programme (L2) or an equivalent programme.
• Type of stay: The exchange programme or work placement forms part of your degree programme. A study period must last at least four weeks. A gap year or a ‘Césure’ does not count towards this.
• Where you go: Any country in Europe or beyond, provided you are studying at a partner university or undertaking a compulsory work placement.
• Field of study: All subjects can apply.
• Nationality: All nationalities can apply.
• Family income: Your family's gross annual income is under 50,000 EUR on your latest tax assessment.
• No paid replacement: During your stay, you must not carry out any paid work or earn more than 800 euros per month; furthermore, you must not be taking part in a fee-paying dual degree programme.

How to apply

You should submit your application via the University’s ‘Mobility Online’ portal. The committee reviews applications twice a year, in June and December. The practical deadlines are 15 May and 15 November.
