Conduct Research for Your Academic Work Abroad.

Does the topic of your Master's/Diploma degree thesis or dissertation require a stay abroad? No problem! The following scholarships are available:

If you are planning a stay abroad of at least 2 months, you may be able to get an exchange spot and receive an Erasmus+ scholarship. Ideally, your stay would be a semester long and you would also take a course or two (10 ECTS credits are recommended).

Would you like to venture into the world for your PhD thesis? Erasmus+ can make it happen! Grants available for short stays: 79 € per day (days 1-14) and 56 € per day (days 15-30).

If you do not receive a study grant (and thus no study abroad grant), and you are not eligible for an Erasmus+ scholarship, you can apply for the JKU Study Abroad Scholarship.
