What is Erasmus+
PFH participates in the European Union's Erasmus+ project, a programme for international collaboration in the field of education.
This programme is designed to increase the attractiveness of European higher education institutions for students and teachers throughout the world.
Erasmus+ wishes not only to promote links between European higher education institutions and between higher education institutions from third countries but also to contribute globally to improving dialogues between cultures. In concrete terms, students of PFH, therefore, have an opportunity to complete scholarship-funded semesters abroad at other European Erasmus+ higher education institutions.
The Erasmus+ programme for higher education institutions - for 35 years, one of the success stories of the European Union (EU) - promotes the international mobility of students, lecturers and other staff in higher education institutions as well as company personnel.
Since 1987, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has been performing the function of the National Agency for the Erasmus+ Programme on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

Level of funding
Funding Rates
Students receive financial support for their study abroad, depending on the country in which the semester abroad/internship is completed. 80% of this funding is paid out before the start and the remaining 20% after the successful completion of the stay abroad.
You can find the funding rates depending on the country group on the DAAD websites mentioned above. The rates also differ depending on the funding year - information is available from the International Office. PFH currently funds stays abroad from the 2021 and 2022 projects.
One advantage of Erasmus+ partnerships is that you do not pay tuition, registration, examination, laboratory and library fees at the host university. You are guaranteed academic recognition for your studies abroad. In addition, you will be supported in the preparation and implementation of your semester abroad and, if applicable, receive an online language course funded by ERASMUS+ as part of the Online Linguistic Support (OLS).
Duration of funding
- Between two and twelve months (study/internship)
- You can take advantage of 12 months of funding in each of the Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral programmes.
- Within a study cycle, the funding can be split up (e.g., thrice for four months or twice for six months).
