1. Requirements

Enrolment (Inskription) as a regular student
Completed first year of study

2. Organisation

Basically, an ERASMUS+ study programme means the continuation of the study programme at the PH Salzburg at one of our host universities. The respective contents should be as comparable as possible to those at the PH Salzburg Stefan Zweig. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the planned study programme abroad with the coordinator for outgoing students in advance.

The International Office and the Rectorate of the University of Education Salzburg Stefan Zweig decide on the final admission to a stay abroad.

After returning from abroad, the study programme actually completed will be recognised according to the credits acquired. The basis for this is the ECTS system introduced throughout Europe.

Mehr Info

The European Credit Transfer System, or ECTS for short, is a system for credit transfer. It was developed by the EU in 1995 and is used in exchange programmes where bilateral agreements exist between the partner universities. On this basis, learning agreements are concluded between students, the host university and the home university. The use of a jointly agreed means of assessment, ECTS, as well as comprehensive information about the study programmes offered, is intended to ensure the recognition of academic achievements. The workload for a full academic year is allocated 60 credits.

With the bilateral agreement, the universities undertake to recognise the study achievements agreed in the learning agreement and actually completed abroad. At the end of the stay at the host university, students receive a transcript of records showing the academic achievements.
