First, find out about the ERASMUS partner universities and their programmes in your field of study. Use the list of Erasmus partner universities or the database Mobility Online.

When applying, you can indicate a first and a second choice. The available exchange places are subject related, please refer to subject area in the PDF list.

The faculties often offer additional information on their websites. If you have any further questions (e.g. recognition or selection of courses), please contact the Erasmus representative in your faculty (see below).

Funding conditions

For your application you need:

• Certificate of matriculation (from self-service portal)

Register here

Please register using the registration form on the top right hand corner.

You can only choose from our partner universities, i.e. those with which TU Bergakademie has a valid contract. You can enter two desired universities.

After completing the registration form, you will receive an e-mail with the login link for Mobility Online, where you can upload your application documents (see above)

Use the login link sent to your email address. First, enter the required data. Then upload all application documents, print out the application form, sign it and upload it as well.

We, the IUZ, check the completeness of your application. Then we forward the applications to the Erasmus representatives of the faculties. They decide on the allocation of the exchange places. If there are more applicants than places, a ranking is made with a waiting list.

Probably in April, we will let you know if you will receive an Erasmus place. In this case we will nominate you at the host university. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from us. The nomination is not yet an admission at the host university. You must apply there after the nomination. For application, please refer to the information you receive from the partner university. Please also visit their website and inform yourself about the application deadline, which you must of course meet.

The Learning Agreement contains the courses you want to attend at the host university and have recognized. With these courses you can replace courses at TU BAF. You create the document by entering the courses in Mobility Online after the nomination. After being signed by the responsible person at TU Bergakademie Freiberg the Learnig Agreement is automatically sent to the host institution.

Erasmus representatives at the faculties:

Faculties 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6:

• Faculty 1: Prof. Dr. Hans-Jörg Starkloff
• Faculty 2: Prof. Felix Plamper
• Faculty 3: Prof. Dr. Bernhard Schulz
• Faculty 5: Dr. Dirk Renker

In the course of the summer semester we invite you to a mandatory information event. We will inform you about required documents, deadlines, payment modalities etc.

After the nomination you will receive an invitation from the EU for a mandatory online language test. This serves to check your language skills yourself. You can then take an online language course if you wish. This can also be in the national language and not the language of instruction - a good chance to prepare yourself linguistically for the host country.

If you do not take a language test, you will not receive any financial support. The only exception to the language test are students whose language of instruction is their native language.

Once you have completed the Learning Agreement, the application to the host university and the language test, you will conclude a Grant Agreement with us. This agreement contains the exact amount of the grant. We pay this in two (one semester abroad) or three (two semesters abroad) instalments. You will receive the first instalment at the beginning of your stay. The last instalment you will receive after your stay, it is calculated to the day (30 days = 1 month). In order to receive the final instalment please submit the Letter of Confirmation (download from below) and participate in an EU Online Survey to which you receive an automated invitation by email.

Once you arrive at your host university, you may need or want to change your course schedule. Maybe you enjoy your time abroad so much that you want to stay longer and extend your studies or add an internship. In these cases, please let us know in good time and submit the following documents. And even when your stay abroad comes to an end, you are required to hand in certain documents to us:
