The Erasmus+ Student Mobility programme at the University of Lublin (Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, founded in 1944) is a bilateral exchange run with the University of Tlemcen in Algeria, funded under the European Union's Erasmus+ scheme. For the 2026/2027 winter semester it lets eligible Bachelor and Master students spend 1 mobility period of roughly 5 months studying in Lublin, Poland, with credits recognised through the ECTS system. The award covers full tuition during the mobility, a monthly living stipend (around €850 (est.) per month under standard Erasmus+ Poland rates), and a travel allowance including round-trip airfare. Only students already enrolled at the University of Tlemcen may apply, in the 2nd or 3rd year of a Bachelor's programme or the 1st year of a Master's, with English at B2 or Polish at B1 and no previous Erasmus+ or international scholarship. Applications go through the Erasmus+ Office at Tlemcen using an institutional email, not directly to Lublin. Monthly grant rates, the exact semester dates and the current-cycle deadline are set each year, so confirm the figures and dates on the official University of Lublin Erasmus+ page before you apply.
