Erasmus Charter

The Erasmus student charter applies to those students who have completed the Erasmus admission requirements and have been selected by their university to complete either a period of study at an associated university in another European country or an internship period in a business or another organization. With regard to internships, the university of origin should have a University Erasmus Charter with ample (extended) coverage of the rights and obligations related to internship mobility.  

 

*The term “university” can be understood as the following: any type of center of higher education, which in accord with legislation or national practice, grants qualifications or degrees at whatever level that will be its respective naming in participating countries.
