Can you apply? Answer 1 short questions, no account needed.
Check eligibilityCredit mobility for students enrolled at a participating higher education institution. There is no central student application form. Ask your university’s Erasmus+ or international office. Tunisia is listed as a third country not associated to the Programme (South-Mediterranean, Region 3). This is not Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (already listed as a scholarship).
800-900 EUR/month depending on host country (2026 call rates; 2027 to be confirmed)Amount checked on 23 October 2026
The Erasmus+ Programme Guide checked on 23 Oct 2026 (version 1 of 12 Nov 2025, part of the 2026 call) gives students from third countries not associated to the Programme, such as Tunisia, 900 EUR a month for long stays in Group 1 countries (France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and others), 850 EUR in Group 2 (Spain, Portugal, Greece and others) and 800 EUR in Group 3 (Poland, Romania, Türkiye and others). Short doctoral or blended stays are paid 79 EUR a day up to day 14 and 56 EUR a day from day 15 to day 30. Rates for 2027 are to be confirmed. The binding figure is the one in the grant agreement you sign with the sending or receiving university.
Ask the international relations office of your Tunisian institution which European universities it has an active Erasmus+ agreement with for your level and field.
Each Tunisian university publishes its own call with its own deadline. The European Commission has no central student form.
Gather transcripts, CV, motivation letter and language certificate as listed in the internal call.
The sending university must select students fairly and transparently; an interview may be part of it.
Before departure, this document fixes the courses you will take abroad and how they will be recognised at home.
The university managing the funds has you sign the agreement that sets the amount and payment schedule.
With the acceptance letter, apply for a student visa at the host country's embassy or consulate in Tunisia; confirm the exact document list with that office.
On return, hand in the host university's transcript of records so your ECTS credits are validated.
If you study in Tunisia, your entry point is the international relations office or Erasmus+ office of your own university: it publishes the call, selects students and nominates them to the European partner. The Bureau National Erasmus+ Tunisie (Menzah 9 A, Tunis) provides information about the programme but does not take student applications. Tunisia is listed in Region 3 (South Mediterranean) among third countries not associated to the Programme, so its students can take part in credit mobility, provided the two institutions have signed an agreement. For paperwork, request your transcripts in French or English early; if a document is only in Arabic, the host university or consulate may ask for a sworn translation and sometimes legalisation, so check the exact list before paying for anything. The required language level is set by each host university: check it for every partner, as the Commission pages checked give no common level. Common mistakes: writing to the European Commission directly, confusing this mobility with Erasmus Mundus master's scholarships, missing your university's internal deadline, or leaving without a signed learning agreement, which makes credit recognition harder on return. Opporiva is free and never applies on your behalf.
