Europe (multi-country)
Erasmus+ Exchange (International Credit Mobility)
The EU pays students at partner universities worldwide to spend a funded semester or year in Europe — but you apply through your home university, not to Brussels. Most students never find out which European partnerships their own university holds; the international office has the list.

- 03A funded exchange semester is the cheapest way to get a European professor who can later write you a reference or host your thesis.
