If you have successfully undergone Erasmus recruitment process and been allocated a place on the list of outgoing students, you need to comply with some formalities in the International Office.
You will receive information on the preparation of the mobility by e-mail. The message will be sent to the university e-mail address.
Status of the outgoing Erasmus student
The period you spend abroad will be recognized by the University of Wrocław as an integral part of your studies, so you won't have to start over the academic year or take a leave, on the condition that you fulfil the obligations described in Learning Agreement.
Learning Agreement
Learning Agreement is the most important document relating to an Erasmus scholarship. It is a list of your chosen classes which you will take at the foreign university. You must select your classes from among those listed at your host university website. The guides of selected universities are available for inspection in the International Office. The curriculum you design has to be officially approved by your institute: signed by the Erasmus Coordinator and/or other competent persons, like the Director of your institute or Dean.
Remember!
The faculty/institute Erasmus Coordinator (and in some cases also the Dean) approves classes that you will take at the host university and acknowledges your ECTS points/grades/course credits.
Therefore please do not refer to the University Erasmus coordinator with matters related to designing or changing your curriculum.
Changes to Learning Agreement
Upon arrival at your host university, it often turns out that for various reasons taking all the planned classes is not possible. In such case you should, after consulting the institute/faculty Erasmus Coordinator of your home university, design a new plan - Changes to Learning Agreement, which must be signed by your coordinator and/or other persons who approved the first version of the Learning Agreement.
Changes to Learning Agreement, signed by your host university Erasmus Coordinator must be sent to your home university Erasmus Coordinator within 30 days from the date which marks the beginning of your study period abroad.
ECTS points
The Learning Agreement for Studies (LA) is the most important document connected with the Erasmus mobility. In other words, it is a plan of courses which will be carried out at the foreign university and which will be the basis for settlement of the mobility after its return.
The choice of courses should be made on the basis of the offer of subjects/courses placed on the websites of the receiving university. The study programme designed by the student must be officially approved by the home institute, i.e. signed by the Coordinator or/and other competent persons, e.g. the Institute's Director or the Dean.
The LA should be sent to the partner university within the deadline indicated by it.
By preparing your Learning Agreement you can always count on the support of the institute or faculty Erasmus Coordinator.
ERASMUS Grant
The Erasmus grant is supplementary and meant to cover the gap in the cost of living between your home and receiving country. It is funded from EU sources. Students receiving the Erasmus grant retain the right to all other benefits like academic performance award, maintenance benefit or ministerial scholarship.
The amount of one month Erasmus scholarship/grant is determined by the National Erasmus Agency and differentiated according to countries:

The total Erasmus grant for mobility is related to the duration of the semester and examination period at the foreign university. For this reason, students going to the same country may receive different grants.
The payment will be made on the condition that you sign the financial agreement, where the study period at the foreign university is indicated, before the mobility.
According to the principle adopted at the University of Wrocław funds are allocated for a maximum period of 5 months (by one semester mibilities) and for a maximum of 10 months (by two semester mobilities), and according to the general principles the mobility cannot be shorter than 2 months.
The grant provided by the Erasmus + program will be paid in two installments as compensation:
1st instalment: 80% before departure
2nd instalment: 20% after settlement of the mobility
To determine the correct co-financing amount, we consider the duration of the semester and the examination session at the foreign university, which must be confirmed by the host university.
Short-term mobility
Erasmus+ program support for living costs in the amount of EUR 79 / day for the period from 1 to 14 days of activity and EUR 56 / day between the 15th and 30th day of activity.
Individuals who have fewer opportunities, including those with disabilities or who receive social subsidies, can obtain extra assistance. This includes EUR 100 for trips lasting up to 14 days, and EUR 150 for trips lasting 15 to 30 days.

In addition, for travel distances up to 1,500 km, the university may provide funding for 2 additional travel days. For distances over 1,500 km, funding can cover up to 4 additional days. The distance is calculated according to the European Commission’s distance calculator. Travel dates cannot overlap with the stay dates.
Important: To receive funding for additional travel days, the outbound trip must take place at least one day before the start date listed in the financial agreement, and the return trip must be at least one day after the end date listed in the agreement.
"Distance" refers to the distance from Wrocław to the host institution, and "rate amount" includes funding for travel costs to and from the host institution.
Additional Funding
Scholarship for Students With Special Needs
Students with special needs qualified for the Erasmus mobility, regardless of the degree of their disability, can apply for grants from a specific fund. Disability is here defined as movement constraints as well as the need for special medical care during placement abroad. The scholarship application must include a medical certificate specifying the degree of disability. Applications can be submitted exclusively via the International Office no later than one month before the beginning of the mobility.
Financial Agreement
If you have been accepted by the foreign university, you have to sign the Student Agreement in the International Office - an agreement between you, the beneficiary of the Erasmus programme, and the representative of the University of Wrocław, which addresses the formal and financial conditions of your mobility.
The Student Agreement is signed in the International Office before the planned mobility. We recommend to do it no less than 2-3 weeks before you leave.
Transferring the scholarship:
- Transfers of Erasmus grant are done exclusively through transferring the money to a bank account (transfer to the account of another person, i.e. your parent, is possible only if you are the account's co-owner or you have been officially authorized by the owner at the bank outlet to use the account).
- Erasmus grant is first transferred in EUR to the foreign currency (FC) account of the University of Wrocław, and then to the student's EUR FC account. It's the most popular solution among students because it helps avoid double currency conversion (EUR to PLN, and PLN to EUR).
- All bank transfer costs are covered by the University.
- At the student's request, the EUR grant can be transferred to PLN account, the same into which travel grant will be paid.
- Students receive grants in two instalments, 80% before departure to the partner university and remaining 20% after completion of Erasmus stay.
Mobility capital
Under the framework of Erasmus+ Programme students can apply for studies and traineeships at each of the three levels of studies (Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD). Mobility capital (number of months spent abroad under the Erasmus Programme) is calculated separately for each level.
Mobility capital per one level of studies is 12 months. In the case of uniform Master’s programmes, mobility capital cannot exceed 24 months.
Any UWr student can receive funding at a given level of studies for the period of 3 to 10 months. In the case of uniform Master’s programmes, the number of possible mobilities gets doubled.
Declaration about mobility capital
Health Insurance
Outgoing students are required to hold a health insurance policy for the period of their studies abroad.
Students from EU member states are recommended to hold a European Health Insurance Card/EHIC, which is the proof of health insurance coverage in Poland and provides the coverage of medical treatment costs in a foreign country.
All students, including those from outside EU, can obtain insurance cover from the National Health Fund.
Outgoing students can hold an insurance policy of one of the commercial insurance companies.
A copy of health insurance must be attached to the student agreement.
We recommend to purchase the EURO>26 card which allows its holders to obtain various discounts, and provides insurance against accidents.
Online Linguistic Support
Students going abroad will be obliged to take two language command tests: before and at the end of the mobility. The test concerns the language of instruction during studies or the language of traineeship. The link to the test in the Online Linguistic Support system will be sent to a participant's e-mail. Tests can be taken in English,German,French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch,Czech, Danish, Greek, Swedish.
Taking the tests is required to complete mobility.
Language courses online
The exchange student will have the opportunity to obtain a license for a professional language course in the Online Linguistic Support system.
Language course on-line consists of the following elements:
- language courses: drop-down menu allowing for the improvement of the following skills: reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, communication; in MOOC form (Massive Open Online Course);
- tutoring: in the form of a virtual classroom, half-hour classes with teachers every other week between 9 AM and 4 PM in which students enrol;
- forum: teachers answer questions asked by the participants;
- news;
- level test: test completing the on-line course.
Licenses will be awarded by the University Erasmus + coordinator.
Extending Your Scholarship
If you have left in the first semester and decided to further extend your stay for the second semester, it is possible if both your host and home university agree.
