Erasmus+

Blick von der »Professorenbrücke«, auf der Studierende mit ihren Instrumentenkoffern zur MHL gehen

The University program Erasmus+ is one of the great success stories of the European Union. Erasmus+ brings together existing EU programs for lifelong learning, youth and sport, as well as European cooperation programs in higher education.

Applications for an exchange semester at the University of Music Lübeck: We accept applications from students of our partner institutions, with whom we cooperate within the framework of Erasmus+ or Swiss European Mobility Programs (SEMP). The official nomination of the home university does not automatically mean an admission to the University of Music Lübeck.

Applications can only be submitted via the European Online Application System – EASY Mobility Online. We point out that applications outside this portal will not be processed. The decision on the placement can only be made after the entrance examinations for regular students in June/July of each year.

The individual study schedules (»Studienverlaufspläne«) provide information on the courses that can be taken within the modules and the scope of the program in semester week hours (»SWS«) as well as the period of occupancy. The blue info button will take you to the individual module descriptions.

Erasmus+ with Partner Countries

Since 2015, mobility outside the Erasmus+ area has also been eligible under the Erasmus+ program. The University of Music Lübeck's partner institution within this Erasmus program component was the Tbilisi State Conservatoire in Georgia. Several exchanges between members of the University of Music Lübeck and the Tbilisi State Conservatoire have been realized during this period. This cooperation ended in 2025.
