Erasmus+ studies
This program, financed by the European Union, allows students enrolled at the University of Luxembourg to pursue a semester abroad at one of its partner institutions within Europe, and to ensure the recognition of the credits obtained abroad.
At the beginning of the summer semester (end of February), an information session (video) is sent by email to inform you about this type of mobility.

A call will be sent out in March for the entire following academic year (for mobilities during the winter as well as the summer semester). The concerned students will receive a link to their student email to complete an online form at the beginning of March It is possible to indicate up to 3 partner universities of your choice. Erasmus+ spots will be allocated by the course director based on academic criteria (number of credits and average).
Master students:

Application at the receiving institution
Once you have accepted your allocated spot, the Outgoing Mobility Office will contact you by email in due time to inform you about the application process.
You will generally need to take care of submitting your complete application to the receiving institution within the respective deadlines.
Learning agreement
You will receive this document together with the above mentioned email from the Outgoing Mobility Office. It is a compulsory document for the University of Luxembourg and you need to fill it out with courses you will follow abroad (for a minimum of 30 ECTS). It must be signed by your course director for validation. It is possible to modify it in the month following your arrival at the receiving institution, using the second page of the Learning agreement. Modifications must be approved by the receiving institution, as well as your course director.

Modification learning agreement 2022-23
Language test / Langue courses online (Online Linguistic Support)
If the teaching language at your receiving institution is not your mother tongue, you will receive an invitation to your student email to take a compulsory language test before your mobility. This is to evaluate your linguistic progression.
If the result is inferior to B2 level, you will also receive an invitation to follow languages classes online in preparation and during your stay abroad.
Accommodation
For reasons of equal treatment, the Outgoing Mobility Office cannot implicate itself in accommodation research. You will therefore be in charge of finding an accommodation for your mobility semester. Most receiving institutions have rooms for exchange students. We recommended to apply early, because the number is limited and attribution is not automatic.
For more information, consult the website of your receiving institution. You may also want to look into apartment-sharing.
Before departure
You need to:
- Pass your online language test, if you are concerned
- Enroll at the University of Luxembourg as Outgoing student – “international exchanges” and at your receiving institution
- Pay your registration fees at the University of Luxembourg only
- Make sure you have sufficient health insurance for your stay abroad
