What is Erasmus+?

Erasmus+ is the largest program for cooperation in higher education in Europe and is funded through the EU system.

Erasmus+ is an educational collaboration between EU countries, EEA countries (Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein), and Turkey. Through the mobility program Erasmus+, you can participate in study or traineeship stays in an EU or EEA country.

The University of Stavanger has entered into several Erasmus+ agreements with multiple countries and universities in most European countries. Each agreement belongs to the respective department and offers courses for students enrolled in programs at that specific department.

  • Study grant in addition to support from Lånekassen (Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund)
  • Online language courses available before the start of the semester
  • Exemption from tuition fees at the host institution
  • Introduction program for all new students upon arrival
