Erasmus+ studies

Here you can find our presentation on study visits with Erasmus+ in the academic year 2026/2027

The application process consists of two steps. You must first submit an application to HSZG in order to meet the requirement for applying to the partner university.

Online Application for an ERASMUS+ Study Abroad Program in Europe (KA131)

Applications for study abroad programs at one of our European partner universities (Erasmus Europe – KA131) for the upcoming academic year are typically accepted exclusively online in December . After you have uploaded all required documents to the mobility portal, you will be asked to print them out and submit them to the International Office as soon as possible . You will then receive regular updates via the mobility portal.

Please use this link if you wish to submit an application to one of our Swiss partner universities as part of the SEMP program.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us by email or in person!

Following the referendum “Against Mass Immigration,” which was held in Switzerland in February 2014, Switzerland’s participation in Erasmus+ has been temporarily suspended. Although this means Swiss universities cannot receive EU funding, they continue to participate in student and staff exchanges within the framework of existing higher education partnerships.

This is made possible, among other things, by the SEMP, the “Swiss-European Mobility Program.” The SEMP offers mobile students, as well as faculty and staff making an application for a stay at a Swiss university, the opportunity to apply for a financial grant. More information is available at https://www.movetia.ch/programme/schweizer-programm-zu-erasmus/tertiaerstufe/europaeische-mobilitaet-tertiaerstufe/ and at the International Office.

Here’s how it works:

Apply as usual through our university’s online application system (please note the application deadlines) and select the respective partner university from the menu on the application form. If, after all applications have been reviewed, you are offered a place at university at one of our Swiss partner universities, we will send you further details. A key difference from funding under the Erasmus+ program is that, in the case of a stay at a Swiss university, the financial grant is paid directly by the host university. Currently, the grant for exchange students ranges from 330 to 390 euros per month. You can find the current funding rates on the website mentioned above.

Due to the high demand for Erasmus+ grants, a total of 135 days can be funded during the 2026/2027 winter semester (WiSe 2026/2027).

We ask for your understanding that funding opportunities must be adjusted accordingly due to limited resources.

Thank you for your understanding!

Visa Matters

German citizens do not need a visa for a study stay of up to three months. If your stay is longer, you must apply for an “Erasmus Learning Residence Permit” as soon as possible after your arrival in Turkey. The Erasmus coordinator at the Turkish partner university can assist you with this.

Students who are foreign nationals should contact the Turkish Embassy in Berlin directly to find out whether they need to apply for a visa before departure.

You can find more details on this as well as other helpful information about your stay in Turkey on the DAAD website.
