Information about Erasmus+ for outgoing students

Step 1a:

First you must apply online via the International Office (online application).

Step 1b:

Afterwards, please send the following documents by post, e-mail or in person to the Erasmus Office of the Faculty of Law:

• Copy of the online application
• Photograph
• Certificate of matriculation
• Tabular curriculum vitae with contact details in English
• Language certificates/language certificates
• Overview of grades of the law studies completed so far
• where appropriate, further evidence of special qualifications

Afterwards you will be nominated by us at the university of your choice. The partner university then decides whether your application will be accepted.

If your application has been accepted by the partner university, you will receive a confirmation e-mail from them and may need to submit further documents. Usually this is a student application form and a Learning Agreement. Some partner universities also require, among other things, a transcript of records, a letter of motivation and, if applicable, proof of knowledge of the teaching language. You will find further necessary forms on the pages of the partner universities.

In order to receive a mobility grant (300-450€ per month), please submit your application to the International Office. However, this application should only be made after the application for a study place abroad has been submitted to the Erasmus Office. Please contact the International Office directly with any questions regarding the mobility grant.

Detailed information on how to apply for the mobility grant can be found here.

After receipt of your invitation letter if your host university and all comleted requirement at the International Office, please apply for a leave of absence at your home universiy (LUH). Please see here how it works.

With help of this leave of absence no more semester fees are due at the LUH. In general you have to pay only an enrollment fee at your receiving University (adminitrative costs).    

Applications will be reviewed by us after the application deadline and assessed on the basis of their overall impression. The most important criteria for this are:

1. formal requirements
   In a first step we check whether all the necessary documents have been submitted.
2. minimum duration of study of 1-2 semesters
3. knowledge of languages
   Each partner university requires a certain language level. This level must be reached at the latest at the beginning of the stay. We will check whether this language level is available and if not, how it could still be reached by the applicant.
   If the required language skills of the applicant are not sufficient, we advise students to postpone the semester abroad for 1-2 semesters in order to acquire the necessary language skills. Thus all students at the Faculty of Law have the possibility to realize their stay abroad within the framework of Erasmus sooner or later.
4. academic achievements / grade point average
5. motivation for the stay abroad and its importance for the professional career
   When applying for Erasmus, students indicate three universities of their choice according to their priorities.
