Learning agreement

Short-term mobility at a host university

You must create a learning agreement that shows the academic content of your activity. This agreement must first be signed by you, then by the student advisor for your study program at UiS, and finally by the host institution. Please remember to notify your student advisor after you have signed so that they can check the agreement and sign.

The learning agreement is not complete until all three parties have signed. It is your responsibility to monitor the status of the agreement and ensure that it is signed by everyone.

We recommend creating an online version of the learning agreement: Online Learning Agreement (OLA). To log in, you must use either EduGain/Feide or Google. Please note that you must register the first time you log in.

You can see how to fill out the agreement in our visual guide (PDF).

Be careful when filling out the agreement, as there are limited opportunities to make changes after it is signed.

Short-term mobility at an organisation/company

If you are participating in short-term mobility at an organisation or company instead of a university, you cannot use the Online Learning Agreement. Therefore, you must fill out the Word template for the learning agreement and submit a signed PDF version: Erasmus+ Learning Agreement (Word).

Please note that you only need to fill out the parts of the document mentioned below.

General Information:
Please fill in your personal information.
Under Field of education, you can look up your field of study in the database and choose the 4-digit code. The database is somewhat limited, so you may need to choose something more general/what fits best.
Under Study cycle, please write "bachelor" or "master".

Mobility type and duration
Please tick the box for Blended mobility with short-term physical mobility.
Please fill in the start and end dates for the physical part of the stay.

Please sign the document yourself and send a PDF version to your student advisor for signing via email. Once you have their signature, you must send the document to the host organisation for the final signature to complete the learning agreement.

Confirmation of Erasmus+ Exchange Period

The host institution must fill out and sign a document confirming your participation and the start and end date of your stay. You must have this document signed by your contact person at the host institution when your exchange period is nearing its end.

You must send the signed document to the International Office by email: outboundexchange@uis.no.

Participant Survey

All Erasmus+ students must submit a final participant survey after their mobility. You will receive an automatic email with a link to the survey towards the end of your stay. You must fill out and submit this survey digitally.

We recommend checking your email spam folder regularly after your stay.

The deadline for submitting the documents is 1 month after the last day of the physical part of your mobility.

Example: If your stay ends on 1 November, the deadline for submission will be 1 December.

The grant is paid after the mobility is over and only after all documents have been submitted. If any of the above documents are missing or incomplete after the deadline has passed, you will not receive the Erasmus+ grant for the blended short-term mobility.

Grant rates

• 70 EUR per day for the first 5-14 days 
• 50 EUR per day for the following 15-30 days

It is also possible to receive a grant for up to 2 travel days.

Example: If you participate in physical mobility for 5 days and have 2 travel days, you will receive a grant for 7 days. If you travel down the day before physical mobility (5 days) and back the same day as the last day of physical mobility, you will receive a grant for 6 days.

Please note that UiS students until spring 2024 will receive the above grant rates from the 2022 project round, and the exchange rate is fixed at 1 EUR = 9.8 NOK.

Additional scholarship

Students with fewer opportunities can receive an additional grant (one-time payment) of 100 EUR for short-term mobility stays of up to 14 days. For stays over 14 days, the amount is 150 EUR. This applies to the following:

1. Students with children under 18 years old
2. Students with chronic illnesses
3. Students with refugee status

You must check that you want the "top-up for students with fewer opportunities" in the grant agreement to be assigned the additional grant. You will then be asked to document that you meet one of the three criteria, for example, by providing a doctor's certificate.

Payment of scholarship

The grant is paid after the stay is over and only after all documents have been submitted. If any of the above documents are missing or incomplete after the deadline has passed, you will not receive the Erasmus+ grant for blended short-term mobility.

A complete learning agreement means that your short-term stay is approved as higher education.

You must apply for any credit transfer after your stay is completed. You do this through the Student Service Centre.

It is possible to apply for support for sustainable transportation (green travel). This grant is a one-time payment of 50 EUR. It is a requirement that over 50% of the journey is made using environmentally friendly means of transport (bus, train, and/or carpooling).

To receive the scholarship, you must:

1. Check "green travel top-up" in the scholarship agreement
2. Download and fill out the Declaration of Honour for green travel (PDF) within 1 month after the physical stay. Please send this form to the International Office by email: outboundexchange@uis.no
