Erasmus study

Applications for study in 2017/18 will be accepted between Tuesday 1st of November - Friday 25th of November

 DELC Options are:

If you are planning to undertake an exchange in France, Germany, Italy, Spain or Scandinavian countries, you should select the "Subject Specific exchange"

If you are planning to undertake an exchange in South America, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico or Chile, you should select the "General exchange" link. 

Please note that if you are intending to study in different locations in each semester or if you are visiting two different countries (because you take two languages for example), you will need to submit an application for each separate activity.   

Edinburgh Global have tested the system quite rigorously, but if any students have issues with the application system, please contact Edinburgh Global directly.  There are also help videos and demos available on the student systems pages.

Personal Statements

For students completing the School Level Exchange application in Mobility, you will have to write a short personal statement.

The purpose of this is to allow selectors to try and arrange the best fit for places so please use this section to explain why you are interested in your top three options.  This will become particularly important when there are more applications than spaces in specific institutions.  For General exchanges, places are selected by Edinburgh Global and you should read their Selection Criteria.

Other than that, there are no specific rules or guidance on completing this.
