Grants
As a SEMP (Erasmus) outgoing student you will receive a mobility grant from the Swiss government. Your online application for a SEMP (Erasmus) stay at the University of Bern is also an automatic application for the grant. You do not need to apply for the grant separately. The amount of the grant ranges from 1330 - 3800 CHF depending on the duration of the regular lecture period at your host university.
SEMP Grants
The lecture period is calculated wihout the "Introduction" or "Welcome Week" etc. for incoming students and without the examination period after the lecture period:
| Dauer | Betrag |
|---|---|
| From two full months (60 Days) up to 3 months | 1330 CHF |
| From "3 months + 1 day" (91 Days) up to 7 months | 1900 CHF |
| From "7 months + 1 day" (211 days) | 3800 CHF |
After successful completion of the application via Mobility-Online (Search Portal), you will be asked to insert the dates of the lecture period in Mobility-Online. If your host university does not send you any information by email, you will most likely have access to further information via the website of the host university. We recommend that you search with the keywords "Erasmus", "Incoming" or "Exchange", "Incoming" and the name of your host institution. For information about the lecture period search for the academic calendar on the website of your host university.
