Scholarships

Depending on the number of students going on mobility as well as the budget allocated to UBFC, the award of an Erasmus+ mobility scholarship is not guaranteed. If you are awarded a scholarship, the amounts are decided by a commission based on the number of students and the country of destination. Contact first the head of your master once your mobility project is defined.
