Erasmus+ International Dimension

An international experience adds significant value to your studies. Through the Erasmus+ International Dimension programme, you can receive a grant to study or do traineeship outside of Europe. On this page, you can find out who is eligible for the grant, which countries are included, and how to apply.

As part of your ISP, you can choose between:

a traineeship outside of Europe (Option 2)
a study exchange outside Europe (option 3)

How much is the grant?

The grant consists of two parts:

PART 1: Monthly grant amount

PART 2: one-time travel allowance

The grant amount also depends on your status (Category 1 or Category 2).

You belong to Category 1 if you:

are eligible for a Flemish study grant;
are nearly eligible for a Flemish study grant (near-grant student);
are a working student enrolled in a recognised work programme;
are a student with a VAPH certificate.

All other students belong to Category 2.

What is the procedure?

Odisee awards these grants to students who:

go abroad for at least 60 days;
choose a study exchange or traineeship at a recognised partner institution outside Europe;
apply on time through Mobility Online and upload all required documents. Check the application form carefully to see which documents are required for your situation and make sure you have them ready when you apply;
do not receive a traineeship allowance of €1,000 or more. If you receive an allowance of at least €1,000 for your traineeship, you are not eligible for an Erasmus+ International Dimension Grant. In that case, you will receive a €1,000 grant from Odisee’s Internationalisation Fund.
