Online Language Assessment
Recipients of the Erasmus+ scholarship need to complete a web based language assessment, Erasmus+ Online Language Support (OLS) before the exchange studies and again upon return. The assessment measures language level before and after the Erasmus+ mobility. After completing the first assessment, there is a possibility to attend an online language course free of charge, as a support during the exchange study period. Students receive a link to the assessment which takes about 45 minuter to complete. The language assessment and the course follows the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) levels A1-C2.
Green Erasmus+ scholarship
If you travel environmentally friendly for at least half of the distance to your study destination within Erasmus+ you qualify for a top-up to your scholarship. If you choose to make stop-overs in other countries during your journey, make sure that you have sufficient insurance. The Student OUT insurance is valid only in the country where you will study and during as direct travel there as possible.
