The European Union's ERASMUS university program promotes the cross-border mobility of students, university lecturers and university staff in Europe. Students and lecturers at the FHDW also benefit from the EU funding program, as the FHDW was awarded the extended ERASMUS university charter back in 2009. Students of all courses can apply for an ERASMUS scholarship. The charter is awarded by the EU Commission and proves that a university fulfills all the requirements for successful participation in the ERASMUS program. The extended university charter was awarded to the FHDW in Paderborn / Bielefeld in the 2008/2009 academic year, but applies to all FHDW locations for the entire duration of the program until 2013. In 2014 it will be replaced by the new "ERASMUS for all" program. ERASMUS is part of the EU education program for lifelong learning.
