If you are a CSMA student and you are interested in completing part of your programme abroad, this section will give you all the information you need.
ELIGIBLE STUDENTS
Only CSMA students that have passed the first year of the higher grade may be eligible. Applications must be submitted in the second year so that stays can be completed on the third year of your BA.
HOW TO APPLY
Firstly, in order to participate in the Erasmus+, you need to submit your application. The application process is divided into different important stages:
- Research about professors and institutions you find interesting. It is always a good idea to try and get in touch with a professor in advance. Please remember you may apply for up to three different institutions.
- Find out whether there is a bilateral agreement between both institutions in place (if there isn’t one yet, the International Office will take care it gets signed).
- If you wish to do your Erasmus stay on the academic year 2020-2021 you’ll have to inform the CSMA Erasmus Coordinator in January 2020.
- To apply, you’ll need to present the following documents to your Erasmus Coordinator:
- Application form.
- Curriculum Vitae: Template EUROPASS.
- Motivation letter.
- Once your application is approved by the CSMA’s selection committee, the following documents (in English, German or French) must be sent to the selected institutions:
- Student Application Form.
- Learning Agreement.
- DVD Recording / In case of the Composition students: an original composition.
- Curriculum Vitae (Template EUROPASS).
- Motivation letter.
- Student Academic Record (applies to some centres only).

ALLOCATION
|
In June, the National Agency confirms the number of grants awarded to each institution. These grants will be awarded according to the allocation order established in February (based on the grades in the student record). |
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCES
The European Commission grants a monthly allowance for all Erasmus exchanges. The amount of these allowances depends on the destination, as the different cost of living in the different EU countries is taken into account, as well as the distance between the sending and receiving institutions.
OLS
There is an On-line Linguistic Support to make your stay easier.
