Opportunities · Erasmus+

A semester or a year somewhere else.

Erasmus+ sends WUM students to partner medical faculties across Europe and Turkey. Spots are awarded on points: your grades, research, and involvement. Here is the whole process in one place, with the lists as they stand.

How it works

Three gates, in this order.

  1. 1

    Score at least 7 points

    Grades, scientific activity and social activity add up to a maximum of 25. Below 7 you are not ranked.

  2. 2

    Prove the language

    A certificate for the host's language of instruction. English Division students skip this for English-taught places.

  3. 3

    Rank your destinations

    Spots go in points order until each university's quota is full. Some hosts ask for their own certificate on top.

Points
