Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (ICM) to Belgium

What is Erasmus+?
Erasmus+ is the EU's program to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. Its budget
of €14.7 billion will provide opportunities for over 4 million Europeans to study, train, and gain
experience abroad. It is also open to non-European individuals coming from the so called ‘Partner
Countries’.
Studying abroad is a central part of Erasmus+ and has been shown to have a positive effect on later
job prospects. It is also an opportunity to improve language skills, gain self-confidence and
independence and immerse yourself in a new culture.
Opportunities are available for students at Bachelor, Master or Doctoral levels.
