Study in Europe with the assistance of ERASMUS!
ERASMUS is the European Commission's exchange program
that enables students in 33 European countries to study or intern for part
of their degree in another country. ERASMUS is a great opportunity to study in
another European country between 2 and 12 months, and have it count towards
your degree.
51ÁÔÆæ Frankfurt has ERASMUS exchange agreements with over 270 universities across Europe. The ERASMUS program is open to degree searching undergraduate and postgraduate students of 51ÁÔÆæ. If you are interested in studying somewhere else in Europe you will first need to check which institutions your department has cooperations with. ERASMUS is open to the majority of disciplines, but opportunities will depend on the agreements your department has made and what degree program you are on.
The online application is possible from December 20 on and the official application deadline for outgoing students from 51ÁÔÆæ is Februar 1st and concerns study abroad periods in the following academic year (winter semester AND also summer semester).
Please refer to the following pages for all information on ERASMUS student mobility.

Goethe students who want to study in the UK in 2024/25 have to complete the regular ERASMUS application (see next tab) in due time until Feb 1st, 2024. They can choose the respective UK universities their department or institute partner with under ERASMUS with priority one, two or three. Financial funding will be possible with ERASMUS international funds.
The ERASMUS application
deadline is February 1st for a study abroad period during
the following academic year (fall and/or spring term).
The application link will be activated ca. December 20.
Please
read up on the mobility opportunities in "your" department or
institute in the tabs below and consult your departmental coordinator
for further advice, e.g. language requirements and if proof of language proficiency is due with the online application or later, additional documents, or if you have to hand in the ERASMUS application as an email attachment with the coordinator.
After gathering all necessary information, you start the application process by completing an online registration, thereby creating your applicant's account, into which you upload your complete ERASMUS application in one pdf-file. You will be guided along step by step by explanatory texts within your account.
Online-Application:
The online application will be connected to your official Goethe HRZ account, so your Goethe login and password will fit your ERASMUS applicant's account. In order to complete the paperfree ERASMUS online application please use this link:
ERASMUS-Online Application
Shortly before the deadline server problems and delays may occur due to many last minute applications. So do not wait until the last minute.
Applications after the deadline:
If you
miss the original application deadline you may apply for leftover spots at
partner institutions that could not be filled with suitable candidates in
the regular selection process. Please consult with the respective
departmental coordinator and ask for the remaining
mobility possibilities. If they accept late applications, please
complete the online application and send us an email outgoing@uni-frankfurt.de to let us know. Please also send your application file to the coordinator as an email attachment.
Selection process:
After the
application deadline the departmental coordinator will receive the uploaded
application files of all applicants and wil conduct the selection
of ERASMUS participants. Your academic performance, motivation, study
plan and language skills will be considered. Also other criteria may
be established, such as only accepting applications of students majoring
in the department/institute, thereby either excluding minor students or
putting them in 2nd priority. The same may be applied in case
of applications to the country of origin, students with a
migration background and/or nationality of the host country chosen in the
application. Such criteria have to be communicated transparently.
After the
selection process is
completed, the departmental coordinator informs all applicants about the result
of their application. He/She will then nominate the selected students at the
host institution and also at the Global Office of Goethe-University.
Only then our staff can activate your participant's account, in which most of
all ERASMUS formalia will be handled by us and by you. You can update your
personal data, receive certificates of participation, Grant Agreements, and
other documents as downloads, and you upload completed documents such as
Certificate of Arrival, Testimonial, Proof of Academic Recognition, etc.
In case of questions regarding the online application process please contact us at the Global Office.
In order to allow
cooperation and mobility within the ERASMUS program a cooperation contract
called "bilateral agreement" has to be established between the
departments or institutes of two universities. It is a prerequisite that both
institutions have a valid ERASMUS-Charter.
A list of all of Goethe University's
ERASMUS partner institutions, the cooperation contract
period and the departmental coordinators responsible for the respective
cooperation can be found here:
current list of ERASMUS partner institutions and departmental coordinators at the departments/institutes
The departmental coordinators of your institute or department are your main contacts, they provide you with information concerning your individual ERASMUS study plans, you submit your application to them, they select and nominate the participants and advise them during the ERASMUS study period. Please see your departmental coordinator during their office hours before submitting an application.
