Erasmus+ Worldwide

Erasmus+ distinguishes between program countries and partner countries. Erasmus+ Worldwide includes all countries that are not part of the Erasmus+ program - the so called partner countries. A list of Erasmus partner countries can be found here

KOOR - Erasmus Services BW only has a limited contingent for Erasmus+ funding outside the EU/Erasmus program countries. The allocation of scholarships will be done on a "first come, first serve" base. The deciding factor is the date at which your complete application documents have been uploaded into our online system.  Please find further information for Erasmus internships here and for Erasmus study semester here.

For Erasmus+ traineeships worldwide, the mainly same eligibility criteria apply as for Erasmus+ traineeships in Erasmus partner countries within the EU. Please click here to see the eligibility criteria for Erasmus+ study semester.

The funding rates for Erasmus+ traineeships worldwide in partner countries are as follows:

• The funding amount is the same for undergraduate and graduate students.
• Only physical time spent on-site in the host country is financially supported.

Maximum funding period:

• If your internship worldwide starts before September 1, 2026, it will be funded for a maximum of 4.5 months (135 days).
• If your internship worldwide starts on or after September 1, 2026, it will be funded for a maximum of 3.5 months (105 days). 

Any time exceeding this is considered a Zero Grant. Zero Grant days are also deducted from the funding allowance. These are Erasmus+ days without financial support. Additional top-ups are also paid for a maximum of 3.5 months or 4.5 months plus a maximum of 6 travel days. Virtual time spent working from home is not eligible for funding.

A travel allowance will be granted to all participants. KOOR will calculate the commuting allowance.
