You are a student and you want to take a higher education or do an internship abroad ? You can then collect a international mobility aid. Conditions, procedures, amount, cumulation: here is the information to know about international mobility assistance.

You can benefit from the international mobility aid if you want to follow a higher education abroad.

This training must take place as part of an exchange program or an international internship.

It may be granted if you complete the 2 conditions following:

FYI  

you can also benefit from the aid, subject to conditions, if you are Erasmus+ student.

You must remove a mobility aid application file from your institution's international relations department, complete it and then submit it to that department.

The application must be accompanied by a plan for study or internship abroad.

Your application is selected by the university president or head of institution, according to the following 2 criteria :

  • Quality and pedagogical interest of your individual project
  • Compliance with the international policy of the university or institution.

The university president or head of institution also decides how many monthly payments you will receive.

You must inquire sufficiently early before departure about the time required to review the file.

Your stay abroad giving entitlement to the aid must be included between 1 month and 10 consecutive months.

For the academic year 2024-2025, the amount of the aid shall be €400 per month.

The aid shall consist of at least 1 and a maximum of 10 monthly payments.

The institution will inform you, before your departure abroad, of the amount of aid allocated to you.

Throughout your higher education, you can benefit from mobility assistance several times.

However, the aid may not exceed a total of 10 cumulative months.

FYI  

you have already received 9 monthly mobility assistance payments, but the COVID-19 outbreak interrupted your stay abroad in 2019-2020. In this case, you can benefit from additional monthly payments if you do another study trip abroad. These monthly payments can be paid to you within the limit of the duration of the mobility not performed.

The aid is paid monthly by your institution.

The property can pay you at least one monthly fee before your departure.

Assistance for international mobility may be combined with merit aid.
