General
Socrates Programme is a comprehensive programme of European Union (EU) financial support to institutes of education, their students and staff, to stimulate student mobility and education co-operation throughout the Union and EFTA (European Free-Trade Association) countries.
The area within Socrates that deals with higher education is called Erasmus. With the support of this programme, participating institutions for higher education can make bilateral agreements on joint international activities.
The Royal Academy of Art has bilateral agreements in the framework of Erasmus with many institutions in Europe. Have a look at our list of partners.
Application procedure
Students interested in spending a study period at our institute are required to apply through a special application procedure. As part of this procedure, students will need permission from their home institute. In addition, a special application form has to be completed. International students who want to apply for an Erasmus exchange at the Royal Academy of Art should take the following into consideration:
- the deadline for applications is 1 May for the Winter term which starts in September and ends in December and 1 October for the Spring term which starts in January and ends in June;
- Acceptance of Erasmus exchange students is only possible if extra student places are available after regular applications in the same discipline have been considered. For this reason, the final result of the Erasmus application might be known relatively late for some of our departments.
