The possibilities you have to study abroad as a student of Faculty of Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences differ from programme to programme. You find an overview below. You can participate in 'long' or 'short' mobility, inside of outside of Europe. Long mobility means you stay more than two months abroad. If you want to go for a long mobility period abroad you need to follow the faculty's Roadmap to study abroad. 

Besides the possibilities mentioned you can participate on your own initiative in voluntary internships, summer schools or other types of (short) mobility, whether or not recognised by your programme.

Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Programme components (courses) in your 1st Master year
Master thesis research in your 2nd Master year

Biomedical Sciences

Project proposal with internship preparing for your Master thesis (always in combination with your Master thesis research) in your 2nd Master year
Master thesis research in your 2nd Master year

Pharmaceutical Sciences

International internship as part of 'Bachelor test partim III' in your 3rd Bachelor year (1 week)
Master thesis research in your 2nd Master year
Part of Pharmacy traineeship in your 2nd Master year

Veterinary Medicine

Internship as part of Skills Lab II between your 2nd and 3rd Bachelor year (1 week)

The faculty organises several information sessions during the course of the third Bachelor year and the first Master year. Make sure you come along!

The faculty's roadmap to study abroad gives an overview of the procedure for applying and preparing for your internship or courses abroad - read this carefully before you take any steps. .

You should also check the general University of Antwerp pages on studying abroad. The International Relations Office also organises information sessions.

Any questions? Then contact your Erasmus coordinator or the faculty staff for internationalisation.

If you want to stay more than 2 months abroad, you should have obtained your Bachelor degree (for Master thesis or internship), be sufficiently motivated and passed all courses of the year before departure. Your programme's Erasmus coordinator can provide you with more accurate information about the specific conditions you need to meet. All conditions you can read in the faculty's Roadmap to Study Abroad.

If you are an international student, you will not be permitted to choose your own country of origin for your Erasmus experience.

For the possible recognistion of other types of (short) mobility, please consult your Erasmus coordinator or the faculty staff for internationalisation.

You can consult the database of Mobility-Online, the online mobility platform of the University of Antwerp, to check which European universities the Faculty has or had an agreement with.

The list below includes the current agreements within Europe. The list is incomplete and may change, and also destiniations outside of Europe are possible. Ask your programme's Erasmus coordinator for the possibilities.

If you go abroad for more than two months (internship) or three months (study), you can apply for a scholarship. The amount of the scholarship depends form your destination.

For a destination within Europe you receive an Erasmus scholarship (monthly allowance). For destinations outside of Europe you have to apply for one of the scholarship programmes.

You can only apply for a scholarship if you are registered in Mobility Online. Please note the VLIR-UOS Travel Grant has a different application procedure.

As a student with modest resources, you have some extra possibilities to finance your study abroad:

• If you receive a study grant from the Flemish Community, you get a higher Erasmus scholarship.
• There is also a mobility scholarship from the International Relastions Office if you have modest resources. You need to apply for the status of 'disadvantaged student' with the Department of Social, Cultural and Student Services of the University of Antwerp. You find more information in the student portal.
• The Faculty of Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences does also grant mobility scholarships for vulnurable students. More information you may ask to the international coordinator of the faculty.

The faculty's Roadmap to Study Abroad gives an overview of the procedure for applying and preparing for your research, internship or study abroad - read this carefully before you take any steps. Applications that did not follow the faculty's roadmap will not be taken into consideration.

You can apply through Mobility Online, the online mobility platform of University of Antwerp. You have to start the application process in Sisa. 

You find more information in the student portal > International experience.
