Studying Abroad

While the majority of Campus Europae students are being awarded identical grants to the ones used in the Erasmus programme Campus Europae is urging political decision makers to consider ways to increase social fairness in the access to student mobility programmes.

In adittion to Erasmus grants students going abroad with Campus Europae coming from the Universities of Hamburg, Greifswald, Lodz, Kaunas and Riga will be able to request further financial support – a possibility that might appeal particularly to those interested in going for a second year abroad, although application is open to all interested students.

Requisites for applying for the CE Bursary are participation in the Bologna meets Lisbon programme (see here) and to contract a loan aimed at offsetting the difference of living costs for the length of exchange. Campus Europae has or is about to conclude agreements in the above mention cities in order to ensure favourable conditions with regards interest rates and repayment provisions, and this scheme is being extended to other universities of the network.

Students benefiting from a CE Bursary should expect:

• CE to act as guarantor for up to 50% of the credit contract;
• automatic repayment of 30% of the credit contracted;
• up to further 20% repayment, depending on academic success: beyond a minimum of 40 ECTS each point earned equals a 1% refund in relation to the loan.
