Exchange studies
EMÜ Erasmus Charter for Higher Education 2021-2027
How to apply for Erasmus exchange (studies)?
Ask the International Office in your university to help you. If you want to come with Erasmus+, ask the International Office in your university if they have a bilateral agreement with Eesti Maaülikool or check our list of Erasmus+ partner universities. Before you start appyling for Erasmus exchange at EMÜ, your home university has to send us a nomination (see deadlines below).
