If you were nominated for the Erasmus+/Education student mobility for studies for the academic year 2026/27, and you have not received or not receive any email from the host university please check information about the deadline and required procedure on the webpage of the host university dedicated for incoming exchange students and start preparing the proper documents. Depending on the total number of incoming students, the beginning date of the academic year 2025/26 at the host university, the mobility period, application deadlines may be different in each university (usually between April and July for student mobility starting in the autumn/winter semester).

The incoming students are usually asked to send below documents:

• Application form
• Learning Agreement for Studies ("Before the mobility"); via USOSewb if the host institution is ready to approve the LA digitally via EWP. Or: many universities have their own template of the LAS.
• Student Transcript of Records, which you may get from your home Dean’s office. It should be signed by the Dean or the Dean’s office staff.
• Confirmation of language competences. It can be a scan of official language certificate, confirmation issued by the language teacher.
• Copy of medical insurance.
• Copy of your ID document or passport.
• Cover letter or motivation letter.
• Other documents required by your host university.

A welcome e-mail from the host university is not equivalent to the acceptance/admission letter, which usually is sent after verification of documents sent by the incoming student.

Please read an Erasmus+ Student Charter.

The International Centre of the UL may issue the nomination letter for an outgoing UL student, if the host university requires it or it is necessary to legalise your stay in the host country.

We kindly remind you that non-EU citizens are obliged to inquire at the respective embassies/ consulates of the countries they are nominated to about visa procedures for students nominated for semestral / full-year studies.
