Going abroad is an investment in your future – and scholarships can help make it possible. Our International Office provides information on a variety of funding opportunities that support you with travel or living expenses. With the right scholarship, you can focus on what really matters: gaining international experience, developing new skills, and making the most of your time abroad.
Erasmus+
Enriching lives, opening minds
The Erasmus+ program is the European Union’s flagship initiative to support education, training, youth, and sport across Europe and worldwide. Its main goals are to promote mobility, strengthen international cooperation, and foster diversity, inclusion, sustainability, and equal opportunities. Erasmus+ helps students gain international experience, intercultural skills, and professional qualifications that are highly valued in today’s global job market.
Erasmus+ KA131 – Mobility within Europe
With KA131, students can complete a study semester or internship at one of our Erasmus+ partner universities across Europe. Erasmus+ not only provides financial support but also ensures recognition of your academic achievements abroad. The monthly grant amount depends on the destination country and the specific Erasmus call used to fund the mobility.
Erasmus+ KA171 – Mobility beyond Europe
Through KA171, HBC supports student exchanges with selected partner institutions outside Europe:
- Chile: incoming and outgoing students
- Argentina: incoming students
- Vietnam: incoming students
This makes it possible to cover living costs abroad and fully focus on your academic and cultural experience. The monthly grant amount depends on the destination country and the specific Erasmus call used to fund the mobility.
Support for All Students
Erasmus+ is committed to making mobility possible for everyone. Therefore, additional top-ups are available for students with fewer opportunities, for example students with children, chronic illnesses, or disabilities. The program also promotes real-cost funding where higher expenses need to be covered. In addition, Erasmus+ strongly supports sustainable mobility, for example by offering extra funding if you choose environmentally friendly travel options such as train journeys. In this way, Erasmus+ ensures that sustainability, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of international mobility.
