The main selection procedure for Erasmus+ study abroad is held in February. Students can apply for either winter or summer semester of the upcoming academic year. In case of remaining finances and available spots, an additional selection procedure may be held in September - however, it is only intended for the summer semester and the choice of universities is usually limited.
