Erasmus Programme

The Erasmus programme is a central element in Aalto University's strategy, promoting international teaching and studying. Internationalisation of education is about integrating a global dimension in curricula and teaching/learning processes. The aim is to educate globally competent graduates.

Funding of International Mobility

Erasmus+ Programme

Erasmus+ is Europe's largest university exchange program, supporting European cooperation in higher education and funding international student and staff mobility.

Eligibility

• Student Mobility for Studies: Students can spend time at one of Aalto's partner institutions to enrich their cultural awareness, academic competence, and independence. Student mobility is supported by Erasmus+ scholarships for exchanges in Erasmus+ partner institutions abroad. Long-term mobility periods are 3-12 months, and short-term mobility periods are 5-30 days.
• Student Mobility for Training: Students can complete an internship abroad and apply for Erasmus+ funding (max. 4 months).
• Staff Mobility for Training: Administrative staff can benefit from work shadowing and benchmarking at a partner university.
• Staff Mobility for Teaching: Research and teaching staff can learn from experts at a foreign university and exchange ideas with colleagues abroad.
• Blended Intensive Programmes: Short courses that combine virtual and physical learning components for students and staff (5-30 days).
