Third countries not associated to the Erasmus+ Programme

The possibility of mobility to partner universities of WSB University to non-EU countries will be announced at the beginning of academic year 2022/2023 on condition that the University has the funds available.

Travel grant for long-term mobility to NON-EU country: 

Individual support to participants with fewer opportunities 

Mobility participants who will be qualified as fewer opportunities participants include: 

1. participants with disabilities proven by an official disability certificate,  
2. socially disadvantaged participants (with low family income) that are entitled to claim social benefit from the home university.

These two groups of students are allowed to receive a top-up inclusion grant of 250 EUR per month in 2023/2024 as well as a travel support (in case of travelling for short-term mobility to EU country and non-EU country or in case of long-term mobility to non-EU country). 

Inclusion grant

For mobility participants that come from disadvantaged groups e.g. disabled persons, there is a possibility to apply for additional support which is necessary in order to carry out their mobility abroad i.e. to cover the cost of stay and travel of personal assistant, purchase of specialized equipment to facilitate mobility etc. This is based on a special application form, submitted to Program National Agency by the Home University Coordinator, against the real costs that have been incurred by the mobility participant.

Signing Erasmus+ grant agreement and receiving permission for mobility

A student receives a permission to go for mobility with Erasmus+ grant and signs the grant agreement after submitting the following documents to the International Office (room 206):

• Letter of acceptance signed by a host university;
• original Learning Agreement/Training Agreement;
• copy of insurance.

Contract and the amount of scholarship

The contract is drawn up in two copies, one for the university and for the student. A scholarship is paid on the basis of a contract. The grant is paid in two parts: 80% before going on mobility and 20% respectively after the full set of documents confirming the mobility has been completed.  

Duration of mobility for study or internship

A long-term study period abroad can last from a minimum of 2 months (or 1 academic term or trimester) up to a maximum of 12 months. Take advantage of blended mobility, where you can combine virtual and physical experiences. For short-term physical presence as part of blended mobility, it can be anywhere from 5 to 30 days.

Experience multiple adventures! Whether you're a student or trainee, you can benefit from Erasmus+ exchanges multiple times. Keep in mind that your total time abroad, including study periods, shouldn't exceed 12 months within one study cycle.

In the case of students transferring to study at WSB University from another university who have made mobility within the framework of the Erasmus+ program in the previous university, mobility periods accumulate. 

Shortening of mobility and force majeure

Shortening the mobility may require the return of part or all of the grant received. Erasmus+ grant can be obtained only for the period that has actually been spent at a host university abroad, confirmed in writing by the host university. A student who has been staying physically at a host university for less than 2 months will be required to return the entire scholarship received. If the student starts their mobility 5 days before then initially planned date in LA or in the Erasmus grant contract or finishes their mobility up to 5 days after the initial end date, the amount of the grant received remains unchanged. 

Please note that the minimum period of stay abroad required to claim an Erasmus grant is 2 months. Shortening the stay requires the return of a part of the scholarship, because the scholarship can be obtained only for the period actually spent at the partner university abroad (in accordance with the contract signed before departure and a certificate of stay brought from a host university). 
 
Shortening of mobility – force majeure – in case a student undergoes a serious accident abroad or is seriously ill, it is possible to shorten the stay due to the so-called 'Force majeure' case which is independent of the student. In this case, the student should immediately contact the International Office (room 206).

Extension of mobility

Extension of mobility (within one academic year) is possible only if the university has unused funds from the Erasmus+ budget. In order to apply for extension of mobility, the WSB University student needs to apply to our Academic Mobility Coordinator (jludzien@wsb.edu.pl) with an application for extending the stay abroad (provide exact dates of the planned stay and justification). The application must be accompanied by a certificate from the partner university on accepting admission for the summer semester and the Online Learning Agreement proposal for the next period. 
The application must be submitted to the International Office (room 206) no later than a month before the ending date of the current semester according to the financial agreement. 
 
Attention! An application will not be considered unless it states the exact dates of extended mobility. The exact dates are obligatory to mention while applying for additional funding. The approval for extension of mobility can be withdrawn if the student does not settle financial and academic matters of the previous semester.
