Have you ever dreamed of traveling across Europe, immersing yourself in a different culture and making friends with students from all over the world while studying abroad? The Erasmus program is designed to give you exactly that and much more. Seize the opportunity for an adventure that promises to be as rewarding as it is exceptional. Thanks to the European recovery plan set up in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Erasmus program is set to offer even more opportunities in the years ahead.
Before embarking on this adventure, think about your safety and well-being by taking out international student insurance. This kind of insurance complements the coverage already provided by your home country’s insurance, which may have certain limitations outside your national borders.
Preparing for your Erasmus trip
Find out more about your destination
- Culture and language: Familiarize yourself with the local culture and start learning the language if you don’t already speak it. This will facilitate your integration and enrich your experience.
- Education system: Find out more about the education system and teaching methods in your host country. This can vary considerably from country to country.
Housing
Start looking for accommodation early. Options can include university residences, shared flats or private apartments. Use the resources provided by your host university and social networking groups dedicated to Erasmus students.
Finance
- Budget: Draw up a provisional budget for your stay, taking into account tuition fees (if applicable), accommodation, food, transport and leisure activities.
- Scholarships and financial aid: Find out about Erasmus scholarships and other forms of financial aid available.
Documents and administrative formalities
Make sure you have all the necessary documents: identity card/passport, visa (if required), European health insurance card, university registration documents, etc.
Find out about the formalities for enrolling at your host university and obtaining a visa if you are leaving outside the Schengen area.
Basic health cover: the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
As an Erasmus student, you benefit from student social security coverage abroad. However, to do this, you won’t need your Vitale card, but the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which you should apply for at least 15 days before your departure. The EHIC will cover part of your medical expenses in the host country, but please note that medical costs can be significantly higher outside France.
