Erasmus+ Student Mobility Programme – Call 2026

Launch Date: 1 December 2025
Deadline: 30 January 2026

The Erasmus+ Programme offers UM students the opportunity to pursue a study or traineeship mobility abroad. The UM has several inter-institutional agreements with European partner universities where students can carry out a study or faculty-arranged traineeship mobility. This mobility must be carried out during the designated mobility semester of one’s course of studies, and for which applications must be submitted in the academic year prior to the mobility semester. When applying, students are to select up to 5 university preferences.

In addition, all UM students at every study level can apply for a self-secured traineeship mobility for research or training purposes. This can be undertaken at any eligible institution, enterprise, or organisation of one’s choice (excluding EU bodies) in Erasmus+ Programme Countries. It can take place during the summer months (subject to no academic commitments requiring physical presence in Malta) or within a year after graduation, provided the application is submitted before graduating.

Further information about the Erasmus+ Programme is available on the webpage of the International Office.

The Erasmus+ Application Form for Call 2026 for students wishing to proceed on a mobility during the academic year 2026/27 and all the relevant updated information will be available on the above webpage. Applications will be received from 1 December 2025. The application deadline is Friday 30 January 2026. Late applications will not be considered.
