Short-term Mobility Erasmus+
Go directly to
Short-term mobility is an exchange stay that consists of both a digital and a physical part, lasting between 5 and 30 days. This can include short internships or study stays. Your study program leader applies for funding for short-term mobility on behalf of you and your class.
When you go on short-term mobility, you need several things in order before Kristiania can pay out your grant, as well as tasks you must complete after returning home to keep the grant.
Erasmus+ Grant
You receive a grant from Erasmus+ (EU) for the number of days you are in class or doing an internship. The rates are 79 EUR per day for stays of 1-14 days. Then 50 EUR per day for stays of 15-30 days. The grant is intended to cover some of the costs of traveling to and staying abroad, but it does not cover the entire stay.
Some students may qualify for an additional grant (top-up) of 100 EUR for short-term mobility lasting 5-14 days, and 150 EUR for stays lasting 15-30 days. The additional grant may be relevant for you if you have:
- Disabilities and/or chronic illnesses
- Refugee status
- Children
To receive the grant, you must sign a Grant Agreement (GA). This contract outlines your rights and obligations as a grant recipient, dates of the stay, amounts, and what happens if you must cancel or interrupt the stay. You must also fill in information about your travel insurance and your account number for the grant payment. The Grant Agreement is sent to you by the International Team about 4 weeks before departure. Once completed, you upload it to the online form: nettskjema.no/a/478369.
The payment comes about 1-2 weeks before departure. You must pay for tickets and accommodation yourself. Kristiania should not receive receipts or be sent claims for reimbursement from you.
A Learning Agreement (LA) is an agreement between you, the program leader/course responsible, and the receiving institution abroad, which ensures that you achieve the agreed learning outcomes during the stay. Most institutions use the Online Learning Agreement (OLA). Instructions for OLA can be found here: kristiania.no/for-studenter/studier-i-utlandet/the-online-learning-agreement-ola.
Your course responsible signs on behalf of Kristiania (Sending Institution). Kristiania's Erasmus+ code is N OSLO58. The receiving institution is where you will spend your stay.
If you are going on an internship or to an institution that does not use OLA, you must fill out a PDF. It is important that you fill out both the first and third pages of the PDF.
In the same email where you receive the Grant Agreement and information about the Learning Agreement, you will also receive a document called Confirmation of Stay (CoS). This document confirms the dates of your stay and that you were present. At the end of the stay, you must have this document signed by the Receiving Institution and send it to Kristiania at utveksling@kristiania.no. If you have traveled with a larger group, a collective document with all names is sent from the International Team.
You must have your travel insurance, even for short-term mobility. You never know when accidents can happen, luggage can be delayed, or something can be stolen. For internships, Kristiania has its own accident insurance and liability insurance, but you must take out your own travel insurance.
Tips and Tricks
- It can be cheaper to rent an Airbnb with other students than to stay in a hotel.
- If you travel more than half of the journey with green transport (train, bus, bicycle, or carpooling), you can apply for a green travel grant.
- The International Team knows a lot but is not local experts. Check with the course responsible for local tips and tricks.
- Check that your passport is valid before you travel, for trips outside the Nordic countries.
