Universidade Politécnica de Bragança - Mobility grants for students - Erasmus

Erasmus+ mobility grant at the Universidade Politécnica de Bragança

You will receive a monthly grant of up to 500 EUR whilst studying or undertaking an internship in another European country. You will also receive an additional travel allowance, the amount of which depends on the distance travelled. The exact rate depends on the cost of living at your destination. It is higher in countries such as Germany, France or the Netherlands, and lower in countries such as Poland, Romania or Turkey. You can receive funding for up to 12 months per study cycle. Funding is provided by the Universidade Politécnica de Bragança (UPB), formerly the Instituto Politécnico de Bragança. You may choose one of two options: a study placement lasting from 3 to 12 months at a partner university, or a work placement lasting from 2 to 12 months at a company, institution or organisation. Both will be listed in your Diploma Supplement, the official supplement to your degree certificate.

Who can apply

• Level for a study period: You are a Bachelor’s or Master’s student.
• Level for a traineeship: All levels of study are eligible, from short courses (CTeSP) through to Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. You can also apply as a recent graduate, provided that the placement ends within 12 months of you receiving your degree.

How to apply

You apply online through the Erasmus applications portal, which the International Relations Office (GRI) opens once a year. The GRI announces the deadline each year. If you are selected, you sign a Learning Agreement (for studies) or a Traineeship Agreement (for placements) before you leave. Your School's Erasmus Coordinator must approve it.
