The office of International Academic Relations opens a call for application each year for Erasmus+ Student Mobility to study abroad in a European university for a period of at least 3 months and maximum 12 months.

What is Erasmus+ Student Mobility?
Erasmus+ Student Mobility offers students the opportunity to study abroad at universities that have Erasmus Charter for Higher Education and agreement with Al-Qasemi Academic College of Education. The study plan during mobility has to be compatible with students’ majors at Al-Qasemi.
Exchange students receive a grant, which is a contribution to travel and the cost of living and studying in another country.
Students are selected for an Erasmus+ Study Mobility on the basis of academic ability and the relevance of the proposed study plan to their studies at Al-Qasemi.
Participants in the Erasmus+ Study Mobility Program continue to pay tuition fees at Al-Qasemi, but are exempted from tuition at the host institution.
Credits for courses successfully completed at the host institution, will be considered for your degree at the home institution, after being approved by your department.
