Since January 1995 Erasmus is part of the new Socrates programme on education. The main goal of the Erasmus programme is to help finance exchanges in various fields of study through student and staff mobility, European modules, joint curriculum development and intensive courses. Erasmus provides the opportunity to experience other academic systems, to follow part of a study programme at a different European university, to meet students and staff from other countries and to integrate a European dimension into education. If you are a student at one of the partner universities who is interested in following Women's Studies courses abroad, this Inter-university Cooperation programme might be something for you. This Women's Studies exchange programme is unique for its interdisciplinary character, ranging from arts, social sciences and biology to theology.
Students have to be at least in their third year of study.
Ask your home university if Ph.D. students are allowed to apply for a grant. For more information about the rules and regulations you have to contact either your local coordinator or the University's Office for International Affairs. Coordinators At each of the participating universities, a local Erasmus Women's Studies coordinator is responsible for all questions concerning the participation in this Erasmus programme. They provide students with information and application forms, explain academic recognition procedures, guide students to plan a programme of studies abroad in which academic requirements of the home university are combined with individual interests, and communicate with the coordinator of the host university. The local coordinator is also in charge of the selection of outgoing students, sometimes in cooperation with the University's Office for International Affairs, being in regular contact with them.
