Second Application Round: Apply for an Erasmus exchange for the academic year 2009–2010

All undergraduate and postgraduate degree students of the University of Tampere can apply for the Erasmus student exchange programme. You need to be a national of one of the participating countries or hold a permanent residence permit in one of the EU member states. Erasmus agreements are signed on departmental level for a particular subject area. Therefore, priority is given to the major and minor subject students of the signatory department. Applying for an exchange through other departments is also possible. However, applicants need to make sure that it is possible to study their own field at the host university. The host university confirms the acceptance of the incoming Erasmus student by sending him/her a letter of acceptance.

The students who are selected to the programme receive an Erasmus grant, whose amount will be confirmed during the summer (200 euros per month in the academic year 2008–2009). It is possible to participate in the Erasmus exchange programme only once, but in addition to the student exchange, there is also a possibility to go on an Erasmus work placement.
