Outgoing exchange students
As an exchange student, you do not pay a tuition fee. At some universities, there may be a registration fee, deposit or similar. You are responsible for these fees.

Erasmus+ mobility grant
All students who are selected and nominated as Erasmus students may apply for a grant.
The grant is aimed to cover the additional costs of the stay abroad. The grant amount is calculated per day and varies depending on which country you go to.
You need to hand in the application well in advance of your Erasmus mobility exchange. You need to apply at least one month before the start of the mobility. Applications received later than this will not be processed.
You can find more information about the grant and how to apply on the Lund University website:
Nordlys
Students nominated for exchange studies in the Nordic region via Nordlys/Nordplus can apply for a Nordlys scholarship. You can apply for scholarships and travel grants for full-time study for up to 12 months to cover extra costs incurred in conjunction with the exchange, but these are not guaranteed. The Nordplus scholarships are funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
