ERA1 – ERASMUS+ Programme Application Form 2015/16 INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS Applications should be typed. You must complete all sections. Please don’t forget to sign the application! Please include one passport-style photograph with your application. Not all programmes of study have associated ERASMUS opportunities. Please look at the List of Eligible Subject Areas below before submitting an application. If you intend to follow a Single Honours degree programme, please name ONE Adviser of Studies only. For Combined Honours programmes, please name both advisers. The list of advisers is provided below. Return completed forms to your named Adviser of Studies by Friday 16th January. Applications which are incomplete or submitted past the deadline may not be considered. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Students who go on an ERASMUS exchange do not have to pay tuition fees at the host university and will receive a grant from the British Council to help towards the costs of your exchange. This is calculated both on the location and duration of the exchange. If you make any subsequent change to your plans, or if you return early from your exchange, you will have to return all or part of the grant. If you stay abroad for less than three months, you will need to repay the full grant. This applies even if you have to return early for medical reasons. If you decide not to go abroad after having been nominated, you must inform the Erasmus Co-ordinator and your host institution as soon as possible. Please note – if you currently pay tuition fees to the University of Stirling, you will still have to pay this tuition whilst you are on exchange as a student from the exchange partner university will take your place here at Stirling. It is important that you check with your fee authority to verify whether they will continue to pay full fees for an ERASMUS exchange period.
