Erasmus grant for blended mobility

As a student, you can participate in a so-called blended mobility abroad as part of your education and receive a grant from Erasmus+. Blended mobility is a course or programme in a blended teaching format.

Mixed teaching format involves a combination of a physical component carried out at the host university outside of Sweden and a virtual part conducted remotely. You are only entitled to the grant during the physical component of the blended mobility.

Is the physical part of your blended mobility between 60 and 360 days, then you should apply for the Erasmus grant for studies instead

The following applies to the physical component of the blended mobility:

  • Is carried out at the host university
  • Shall be equivalent to full-time studies.
  • Should be at least 5 and maximum 30 days.
  • For the physical component of your blended mobility you are entitled a grant

The following applies to the virtual component of the blended mobility:

  • Is carried out remotely
  • Can be carried out either before, during or after the physical mobility.

In order to apply for the grant, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

  • You must have been granted a course or programme in a blended format through your institution, faculty, or the Unit for International mobility to one of Uppsala University's partner universities within either the Erasmus or Enlight networks.
  • The blended mobility must consist of a physical component combined with a virtual component.
  • You must be registered as a full-time student at Uppsala University at the time of your grant application and intend to graduate from Uppsala University.
  • You must study abroad full-time and the physical part of your blended mobility must be a minimum of 5 days and a maximum of 30 days. Is the physical part between 60 and 360 days, then you should apply for the Erasmus grant for studies instead
  • You must not have another EU grant for the same time period.

Additional information for doctoral students only

  • For doctoral students who will participate in blended programmes, the programme must be part of their doctoral studies.
  • doctoral students are exempt from the compulsory virtual component of the course in case they are not participating in an organised Blended Intensive Programme (BIP).

Students with a residence permit

Students studying in Sweden on a residence permit should check with the Swedish Migration Agency that participation in exchange studies or traineeship outside Sweden does not affect their residence permit. Please refer to the Swedish Migration Agency's website.

You can receive an Erasmus grant for blended mobility multiple times, but the following rules apply to how long and how many times you can apply for an Erasmus grant:

  • Within the Erasmus programme, one month is considered as 30 days. You can receive an Erasmus grant for a maximum of 12 months (360 days) for each educational level (bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels). Students enrolled in long non-structured programme, such as the Medicine Programme, are allowed an Erasmus grant for a total of 24 months (720 days) during their entire education.
  • For those who have previously participated in an exchange or traineeship with an Erasmus grant, whether through other institutions in Sweden or abroad, that period is also counted within the 12 months (360 days).
  • You are only entitled to the grant during the physical part of blended mobility. The minimum period for the physical part of the Erasmus grant for blended mobility is at least 5 days and a maximum of 30 days. If the physical part of the course is between 60 and 360 days, you should instead apply for the Erasmus grant for studies.

The Erasmus grant for blended mobility is intended to cover additional costs related to your mobility. It will not provide full cost coverage for your stay abroad.

You are entitled to the grant only for the physical component of your blended mobility programme. For short-term blended mobility, you also get the grant during two additional days: one day before the mobility starts and one day after the mobility ends.

Grant levels:

  • Day 1-14 in the host country: 79 EUR per day
  • Day 15-30 in the host country: 56 EUR per day
