As a doctoral student at Lund University, you can take courses, collect data and material for your thesis or participate in other thesis preparation activities at a partner university. The studies must be full-time at one and the same university and for a continuous period of time.

Erasmus+ mobility for studies must be carried out within the framework of an Erasmus+ exchange agreement (Inter-Institutional Agreement). Regardless of whether you register for courses or do thesis preparation activities, a Learning Agreement must be signed.

The length of the exchange period

The physical study period can last for 5–30 days or 2–12 months.

Scholarship amount

In the case of a short, physical mobility of 5–30 days:

• Days 1–14: 79 euros per day.
• Days 15–30: 56 euros per day.
• Outside the EU/EEA: daily amount plus a travel grant (no travel grant for mobility to the United Kingdom and Switzerland).

If you have a disability or have children, you can receive extra support in the form of Top-up.

The traineeship can take place at a company, an organisation, a university or a research and training centre and can be carried out during and after the doctoral studies.

• During the doctoral studies: The content of the traineeship must be relevant to your doctoral studies. You can use the traineeship for, for example, fieldwork, data collection and to gather material for your thesis.

You must apply for your Erasmus+ traineeship during the last semester. The entire traineeship period must take place within 12 months of the defence. A doctoral student who has obtained his or her degree can no longer apply for a traineeship as a “recent graduate”.
