Hi there,
Does anyone know how to apply to a Erasmus scholarship for a PhD? Does the University apply or the student?

I will appreciate any information

go to http://ec.europa.eu/education/external-relation-programmes/doc72_en.htm
good luck

Hi Caroline,

Best thing to do is to ask your department's ERasmus coordinator or international office for help. They can tell you which of their agreements are also for PhD students - some are just for BA/MA students. You then need to apply for one of the places and hope your coordinator picks you - it can be good therefore to pick somewhere less popular. Obviously though you've got to apply somewhere where you could do something helpful in a semester or 2 for your PhD project! The grants are very small though.

Erasmus Mundus is a bit different I think, in that it seems to be grants for masters courses that are split between several countries and they can be outside of Europe.

thank you very much for your reply!
