Aurora Exchange Programme

Would you like to spend an exchange semester in another European country in the next academic year but have been hesitant to apply until now? As part of the Aurora Exchange Programme, there are still a few remaining spots at Aurora partner universities for last-minute applicants.

Course offer

Students from all study programmes - with some subject-specific exceptions - can apply for the exchange places, provided that their subject area is offered at the respective university of choice. Please inform yourself independently about the courses offered at the Aurora university of your choice. Useful information can also be found in the webinar series  "Get To Know Your Aurora University Study Abroad Destinations".

Scholarship

A spot in the Aurora Exchange Programme comes with a tuition waiver and a monthly stipend equal to the scholarship rates under the Erasmus+ programme. The current scholarship rates can be found in the Aurora Alliance Mobility Plan of the University of Innsbruck. An aliquot pay back of the scholarship is required in case of falling short of 15 ECTS credits per semester during your semester abroad.
