Erasmus+ 2018/2019 Information about the exchange
Who can go? All students (BA, MA, PhD) except from the first year students of BA studies, and the last year students of MA studies. Each student for 12 months at each level of studies. At each academic year you have a right to only one exchange and one internship, which cannot overlap. 36 months of Erasmus in total: exchange + internships. If a student were already at exchange and wants to go again at the same level, you can use just the remaining months: E.g. A Master student spent 5 months on exchange during his 1st year. In the 2nd year he has 7 months to use for exchange and/or internship.
Who can go? Rules for 2018/2019: You cannot apply for Erasmus exchange if on March 9 th, 2018 you have more than one conditional pass. If you had conditional passes from the academic year 2016/2017 and had to retake courses in the winter semester 2017/2018, and you will pass these exams, on March 9th, 2018 you have no conditional passes. Thus, this restriction concerns only those who will not pass their retake courses in this winter semester examination period, who have to retake courses in the summer semester, or who will get more than one conditional pass from this winter semester examination period. Erasmus scholarship in the academic year 2018/2019 will be awarded to students with the average grade not lower than 3.49. Students with lower average grade may apply for exchange but there is no guarantee that they will obtain the scholarship.
Who cannot go? Students from the third year of BA studies can apply for exchange in their first year of MA studies, preferably in the summer semester. They cannot start their exchange before they become Master students. Students who are nominated for the exchange loose the right to go: - if they failed the year and have to repeat it, - if they have more than one conditional pass from the academic year 2017/2018, - if they have a conditional pass and have the retake of a course in the semester in which they are supposed to be on the exchange, - if they were nominated in their third year of BA studies but are not accepted for MA studies at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, - if they have another scholarship from the European Union which they do not want to give up.
Where you can go? Agreements cover students exchange for one or two semesters on one or all levels of studies. Students may be nominated for two semesters, but they will get scholarship only for the first one. At the end of this semester they can apply for extension of the scholarship. At the moment we have 65 agreements. The list is available from our Erasmus website: http://erasmus.wne.uw.edu.pl. You can also go for exchanges using agreements of faculties with related fields of studies in our case Management but you will be last on their list. You can go for exchanges using agreements of faculties with unrelated fields of studies; however, you can apply for these agreements only in the second or third recruitments.

Where you should go? You are going not for holidays but to study. Check the language level yourself. Look for universities with courses that are interesting for you. Check the key courses (e.g. http://www.wne.uw.edu.pl/files/4014/8828/5076/przedmioty_kluczowe_16-17.pdf) in the semester for which you want to go for exchange and first of all look for their equivalents. This equivalence must be approved by the director of your studies or program. You do not need to worry about other courses. Choose whatever you find interesting (I must approve it). 70% of ECTS points from the exchange must be for economic courses. You must bring at least 20 ECTS points from one semester exchange and you must have 60 ECTS points from the whole year.

For Switzerland the recruitment rules are the same as for all countries, but the level of scholarship depends on a particular university. Students receiving stypendium socjalne (only Poles) on March 10 th (?), 2018 are entitled to additional 200 (in PLN) per month for studies. Disabled students may apply for additional funds based on the real costs. How much you will receive?
How to apply? We will accept the applications for exchange from Jan. 22 nd till Jan. 31 st. You will submit applications both on paper and in USOS. The application procedure basically remains the same as in previous years. You can find all relevant information on our Erasmus website: http://erasmus.wne.uw.edu.pl. The faculty will nominate students for exchange, but it is not equivalent with awarding them scholarships. We do not know how much money the university will receive. If not enough for all nominated students, the rector will introduce additional recruitment criteria. Before you depart you will have to write the language test in the language of studies of the host institution.
