3. Based on your nomination, the partner school will contact you and request certain documents and information from you by a specified date

4. subsequently you receive further instructions and documents to be filled in by us as well

Selection of students for ERASMUS+ study stays - HOW IT WORKS STEP BY STEP?  

• search on the universities which you are interested in, from our PARTNERS LIST (Excel sheet at the bottom of the page) and check what classes/courses they offer and how well they would  reinforce your degree
• choose your TOP 2 universities and apply for ERASMUS+ mobility by the deadline at Department of International Relations, usualy till the end of each year
• take part on our "selection interview" in English /or other study language/  usualy in the middle of January - cancelled for this time
• once you were recommended after interview, you will be nominated by e mail to apply for partner university, usualy by the end of March

We kindly ask  ERASMUS + potencial applicants  not to submit applications if:

- they can not study at EF succesfully because ERASMUS + is an opportunity for those "ambitious and most dilligent".
- also do not plan your  mobility if you have any doubts about your language knowledge, traveling alone, handling abroad, financial backing to co-finance your stay ...
- or if you have any health, personal or family issues

+ if you will not be a student of EF UMB for the AY you do not have the right to do ERASMUS+ any more.

+ in case you have some friends, who did not applied within the deadline, they can still apply as an alternate
