Erasmus+ for PhD students
Education under the Erasmus + programme can be implemented at a foreign university with which the University of Silesia in Katowice has signed a cooperation agreement. In the academic year of 2019/2020, scientific trips can take place between 1st June 2019 and 30th September 2020.
To participate in the Erasmus Programme, the following must be fulfilled:
- the student must be familiarized with the recruitment announcement on the faculty or the doctoral school website;
- the student must choose a foreign partner university;
- the student must check the term of recruitment defined by the faculty;
- the student must submit the application form for a trip using the “Student Exchange” section that is available after logging into the USOSweb service.
As part of the Erasmus + programme, scholarship of EUR 400 to 800 per month can be obtained, depending on the country of stay, type of the trip or a financial situation of the doctoral student. It is possible to obtain additional financial support due to the special health-related needs of a doctoral student.
Education realized at a foreign partner university as part of Erasmus + is equivalent to education at home university.
Students may take advantage of Erasmus + scholarship many times.

Doctoral candidates may participate in the Erasmus+ program under the same terms and conditions as undergraduate and master’s students, in accordance with the applicable program rules. This means they are entitled to the same rights and obligations regarding the implementation and settlement of mobility.

b) Short-term mobility SMS and SMT (5-30 days)
The purpose of the trip may be, for example:

- Completing a traineeship at any foreign institution, e.g., an enterprise, research facility, academic institution, non-profit organization, or other institutions (museums, libraries, hospitals, etc.) located in a country participating in the Erasmus+ program.
