MOBILITY DURATION: 1-12 MONTHS

Mobility grants are awarded for full-time studies or work placements lasting 3-12 months in another Nordplus country. The grant is available to degree students of any nationality studying for a first or second cycle degree at a HEI in the participating countries. In case of work placements, the exchange doesn’t need to be connected to a network partner but can be directly arranged between the student’s home institution and the host organization/company where the training will take place. PhD students are not eligible for a Nordplus grant. The grant should be seen as a contribution towards the additional costs of studying
abroad.
