Student mobility

HEH / International / Outgoing

Outgoing students

HEH’s students who apply for an international exchange (Erasmus+ or another programme) have to inform directly by email the International Relations Commission (relations.internationales) – or the mobility relay within their department (follow the link Commission des Relations Internationales) around January 10 of the academic year before mobility year, in order to better organise the mobilities of the following year and to respect the requirements made by the funding providers.

> Selection of candidates for a mobility grant

At the institutional level, the two selection criteria of candidates for a mobility grant are the following:

1. Priority is given to scholarship students;
2. An application form must be submitted within the set deadlines. Candidates applying afterwards will be put on a list and, in case of candidates' defection for failure, dropout or because they do not meet the minimum requirements of their section, they will have the opportunity to benefit from remaining grants.

Each department establishes its own selection criteria. You can get more information on the Extranet, in selecting the tab Documents > Documents pour les étudiants > Services HEH > Mobilité > Sélection et règles d'attribution de la bourse. Do not hesitate to get in touch with the mobility relay of your department or the International Relations Commission at the Central Administration.

Please note:

• If European funds (Erasmus+ programme) and national funds (FAME and Erasmus Belgica programmes) have run out (we prioritise students with a scholarship from Wallonia-Brussels Federation - Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles as well as the first application forms received), the student will have to address the social worker of their department (Lena Barral lena.barral for departments in Mons and Sophie Smet sophie.smet for departments of Tournai). In this way, the social workers can analyse the students’ requests by evaluating their financial situation and classify them if necessary. A financial intervention of the HEH’s Social Committee will be defined on the basis of students’ information and an interview with the social worker.

• The HEH's Social Committee grants 120 euros for additional insurance (repatriation and theft) for eligible Overseas Departments and Territories with Erasmus+ and non-European countries with FAME.

• If the student mobility is outside the framework of national and European programmes (for instance, a mobility of shorter duration than the one required by the funding programme in question), the student will also have to address the social worker in order to evaluate his or her request file and so the financial help they may receive from the Social Committee of HEH.

Below you will find two documents you will be asked to fill in to analyse your conditions of financial help granted by the Social Committee.
