Funding the exchange
On this page, you will find information about Erasmus+ grants and other benefits available during exchanges.
The page is being updated.
For contractual exchange programmes, no tuition fees are charged. The main and most essential costs are travel, accommodation, and food. You may also have to pay for other study expenses. Certain university services, such as study materials or photocopying, may be subject to a fee, as may the use of e.g. computers. Often, a substantial part of the funds needed must be available at the beginning of the semester.
Erasmus+ grant
Students selected for exchange will receive an Erasmus+ grant for the duration of their exchange. The amount of the grant is determined by the length of the exchange and the destination country. In addition, each student is granted travel support.
Other benefits
Kela can grant a study grant for international student exchange, if the studies abroad are recognized towards a degree at Humak. The study grant for studies abroad is normally used up in months of support and is taken into account in the monitoring of progress.
Before starting the student exchange, the student must submit a notification of change of study support to Kela electronically in the Kela e-service.
You can also get a higher study loan during your exchange studies.
Read more about Kela study support for studies abroad on the Kela website.
If you are studying with the support of the TE Office or the Employment Fund, for example, you must agree with your sponsor about studying abroad in advance.
Further information is available directly from the sponsors.
