Erasmus+ Scholarship

Each student can go on Erasmus+ mobility once in one cycle of studies, that is, one time at the undergraduate level, one time at postgraduate studies and one time at doctoral studies.

Duration of Scholaship

The scholarship lasts no longer than one academic year (one or two semesters) and allows for the continuation of studies at the home institution without interruption during the study period. Outgoing students for one semester (winter) in justified cases, may extend their scholarship for the next semester. In such case, the consent of the home and  partner university is required to change the predetermined period of stay

Subjects Evaluation

The student is obliged to obtain the minimum of 30 ECTS credits per semester at his/her home institution. Subjects included in the partner university programme shall not differ from the curriculum at the Faculty of Architecture Gdańsk Tech in a given semester. 

In addition, after returning to the home university a student has to obtain the same number of credits from the courses set at the mobility under the program at our Faculty. If the appropriate subject replacement was not achieved in the curriculum at partner university, it is the object covered by the programme differences arising from the standards of education at Polish university, in this case at Gdańsk Tech.

The qualification procedure is not open to students from the second year of study and diploma semesters.
