How correctly choose the suitable Host University (ies)?

Information on how to choose a suitable university:

• In order to choose the right university and study subjects, consult with the vice-dean of your faculty (mobility coordinator) (see Contacts section).
• Please be mindful of whether your foreign language proficiency level meets the requirements of the university.
• If you would like to prepare your bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral thesis at the foreign university, please coordinate with the thesis supervisor and faculty vice-dean (mobility coordinator). Final theses are defended at MRU after returning from the study exchange.
• Smooth coordination of Erasmus+ study content between the sending and receiving institutions and collected credits is ensured according to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS).

Size of the grant is set by the European Commission and is equal to all students outgoing from Lithuania to a particular country group under 2021 Call KA131 mobility project:

* Fixed amounts are approved by the National Agency and apply for the entire duration of the project.

Students can go and receive a scholarship for study exchange to Program countries (according to KA103/KA131) SEVERAL times.

Please note that students who receive the grant, as well as students who do not receive the grant are exempt from tuition fees, laboratory and library fees at the host institution, but pay normal fees at their sending institution (i.e. students of non-state-funded studies abroad under the Erasmus+ program pay the tuition fee set for them at Mykolas Romeris University).

The host institution may charge incoming students small fees related to, for example, insurance, student unions, and various materials, e.g. copying services, laboratory products, on the same basis as local students.

MRU students can apply for:

• Top-up support for students with fewer opportunities on long-term mobilities – 250 EUR [1];
• Green travel individual support top-up (single contribution) – 50 EUR [2];
• Travel support (standard travel or green travel);
• Additional travel days (additional individual support days);
• Inclusion support (based on real costs) [3].
• Top-up support for students with fewer opportunities on short-term mobilities – 100 EUR [4];

[1] [4] MRU students with fewer opportunities or MRU students with special needs (e.g. a limited ability to work, diabetes, undocumented medical needs) can request an additional grant to meet needs during the Erasmus+ study period.

An additional application must be submitted no later than 1 month before the start of studies abroad. An additional grant is awarded to program participants with physical, mental, or other disabilities based on actual expenses incurred.

A person with fewer opportunities is also defined as a program participant who, due to his physical, mental, or other disability cannot participate in the mobility project without an additional grant.

If the student is awarded an additional grant, then at the end of Erasmus+ mobility (within 30 days), the student must submit an expense report with supporting documents. Documents substantiating expenses: invoices confirming the actual expenses, specifying the name and address of the institution that issued the invoice, as well as the amount, currency and date of the invoice.

MRU students requiring social support (does not apply in the case of special needs), who have submitted documents proving their status (an official certificate issued by a competent institution, confirming the fact of receiving social benefits and the type of social benefits), who are going to study in foreign countries, are awarded an additional stipend of 250 EUR per month.

Erasmus+ student charter

Following the announcement of the selection results for Erasmus+ mobility studies, as well as the student’s consent to being nominated (each student is contacted personally), the rector’s order is drawn up approving the summary of selected students. At the same time, nomination letters with student data are sent to foreign higher education institutions/partners.

Filling out the application documents for the Host university: after receiving data about a student, the foreign university contacts the selected student and provides instructions on how to fill out the Application Form. It can be:

• an invitation to register in the system of a foreign university online;
• a request to fill out a designated application form.

The foreign university can also send other important information about the attached documents, deadlines for submitting documents and other important information about accommodation.

Each foreign university has strict application deadlines (search on university websites). If you don’t receive any confirmation letter, don’t hesitate to contact the person in charge at the host institution, and also get familiar with the information on the Internet – perhaps the application process is already described in detail on their website, and the forms for the necessary documents are provided.

Foreign universities may require the submission of a Transcript of Records – it is issued by Mykolas Romeris University faculties in English (contact the student managers of your faculty).

You must send a copy of the application form (if possible) to the International Office.

2 months before the start of your physical mobility, you must submit the following documents to the International Office (KA103/KA131):

1. A copy of the application to the foreign university (if possible);
2. Confirmation of Acceptance (official document or e-mail);
3. A tripartite study agreement (Erasmus+ Learning Agreement Guide) that has been signed by all three parties;
4. Request for an Erasmus+ scholarship (must be signed by you and your faculty’s academic Erasmus+ coordinator);
5. Form of financial data (bank account details);
6. Copy of private health insurance.

Please find more information about the mobility process here: Before the Mobility (KA131/KA107) During the Mobility (KA131/KA107).

If your host university does not offer you suitable accommodation or you have applied too late, we suggest you take a look at the Eurasmus online platform http://eurasmus.com, where students participating in exchange programs can easily find and book rooms in their European city of their choice.

The platform provides the most necessary information about the academic, cultural and leisure areas. It also provides a secure payment system backed by apartment owner reviews and endorsements, reviews from previous residents, and a money-back guarantee.

When living abroad, it is convenient to shop in that country’s online stores. PayPal wallets are mostly used for this. Shopping online saves time and the goods are purchased cheaper than in a physical store.

In order to create a PayPal wallet, it is necessary to have a credit card – the banks of the Republic of Lithuania offer the purchase of such cards, which facilitate online shopping. Ask your bank about such a possibility. It is also convenient to use transfergo or mokejimai.lt for international transfers.

Travelling is an integral part of studying abroad. It is convenient to use the websites Kayak or Skyscanner to search for flights and buy tickets without intermediaries, as well as save money. You can use Booking to search for a place to stay, or Couchsurfing, where you will find people offering residence at their homes.

       Every semester we help dozens of MRU students to be able to study in our partner universities in other countries. Each student’s experience is unique therefore it is important for us to receive honest feedback from all outgoing students. Moreover, these reviews are also very useful for other students who are planning their semester abroad to get to know the country and university of stay. Therefore, we have attached some PDF files with reviews and photos that you can find below! These feedbacks were given by outgoing students of 2022-2023 academic year.
