Erasmus+ Education Mobility

If you're a student interested in studying in Estonia, contact your school's Erasmus+ coordinator to check if your institution has an Erasmus+ partnership with us. If there is an agreement in place, you will be eligible to apply for an Erasmus exchange with the Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary (BMTS). Be sure to consult with your home university to learn the next steps in the process. 

The Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) establishes the quality standards for higher education institutions (HEIs) to engage in European and international cooperation through Erasmus+. It is a mandatory requirement for any HEI in a Programme country seeking to participate in learning mobility or initiatives promoting innovation and best practices within Erasmus+, ensuring that institutions uphold values like academic freedom, inclusion, and equal access. Complementing this, the Erasmus+ Student Charter outlines the rights and obligations of students, guaranteeing access to services, academic support, and recognition of study outcomes, providing clear guidance for students to fully benefit from their Erasmus+ experience at both their home and host institutions.

Additional details about ECHE are available here.

Under the Erasmus programme, students enrolled in Estonian higher education institutions, regardless of their citizenship or residence status, can study abroad starting from their second year. The foreign institution must hold an Erasmus+ Charter, and the student’s home institution must have a partnership agreement with the foreign school or organisation.

Estonia also participates in Erasmus+ global mobility, enabling cooperation with partner countries outside the EU. This allows students to study at recognised higher education institutions in these countries, expanding their international academic opportunities.

Within the framework of the Erasmus programme, lecturers from Estonian higher education institutions who have joined the programme can teach in Erasmus+ countries. Staff from higher education institutions will be able to take part in training courses, and it will also be possible to invite higher education institutions to train specialists from their partner organisations from other parts of Europe.
