Erasmus+ & SEMP: Mathematics
You would like to spend one or two semesters at one of our partner universities in Europe? Before applying for a semester abroad, please make sure to check out all the available resources:
- Info session: Make sure to join the info session on studying abroad in Europe, which takes place every year in November. The exact date will be announced on this website in good time.
- Your own research: Please use our partner universities' websites to familiarize yourself with the courses offered, language requirements, and semester dates. Please also read the post-travel reports in our Online Database.
Counseling: To discuss your plans to go abroad with us in person, please schedule an appointment with Isabelle Canchila Acuña after the info session.

More Info
Applications must be made using the online platform MoveOn. Please select the form “Erasmus study SMS (+ Switzerland - SEMP Studies, Double Degree and School Program)” and upload the documents from the checklist. Please also submit the documents via email to outgoing-math(at)cit.tum.de within the specified deadline.
Please only use one of the following documents to create your curriculum:
- Intended study objectives abroad
- Progression of studies to date (grades, number of credits earned)
- Professional and personal motivation
- Language skills
- Social commitment and practical experience (including participation in the Buddy Program)
- Application documents (completeness, content, form)
- Impression in personal interview (well-informed, independent, acts as an ambassador)
Within one week after submitting your application documents by the application deadline in mid-January, you will receive an invitation to a Zoom interview by email. The interviews are scheduled to take place at the end of January and early February. You will receive notification if and at which university you have been accepted by mid-March 2026.
Once you have been offered a spot and have accepted it, the Student Exchange Coordinator will nominate you to the partner university abroad in good time. After your nomination, you should get an email from the partner university informing you of the next steps. But please keep an eye on the application deadlines yourself and find out which documents you need to submit.
Please make sure that the following requirements of the partner university and the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT) are aligned when choosing courses:
Requirements of the partner university
Some partner universities have requirements regarding the minimum or maximum number of ECTS you must earn during your studies abroad (usually between 20 and 30 ECTS per semester). In addition, there are often restrictions on taking courses offered by departments/faculties/schools other than the one you are attending as part of the Erasmus+ program. It is your responsibility to find out about the relevant requirements and take them into account when choosing your courses.
Requirements of the subject area Mathematics at the TUM School of CIT
You are required to earn at least 20 ECTS at the partner university, of which at least 10 must be subject-specific ECTS.
The Learning Agreement (LA) is the list of courses you would like to take at the partner university. It should be prepared well before the beginning of the study abroad stay. As a learning agreement between the student, the TUM School of CIT, and the host university, the LA is the foundation for the later transfer of credits earned abroad. In most cases, an Online Learning Agreement (OLA) is created digitally and confirmed by all three parties.
It is your responsibility to apply for the transfer of credits earned at the partner university when you return from your studies abroad. Further information can be found under Credit Recognition in the subject area Mathematics.
