How to finance your mobility abroad
Outgoing students
Each year, emlyon business school collaborates closely with the Erasmus+ Agency and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region to help fund students’ international mobility projects. Two types of grants are available, depending on your destination, the nature of your mobility, and your program.
Erasmus+ Grant
As part of an academic exchange within a European partner university or for an internship mobility in Europe, you may be eligible for the Erasmus+ grant. To qualify, the mobility period must last at least 2 months. During your studies, it is possible to benefit from the Erasmus+ grant twice, combining internship and/or exchange periods.
The Erasmus+ grant is available to students enrolled in the following programs:
- Programme Grande École
- Global Bachelor in Business Administration
- BSc Data Science for Responsible Business
- Master DSMI
- Master DSFI
The monthly amount of the Erasmus+ grant varies depending on both the destination country and the type of mobility (study or internship).

Each academic year, emlyon business school defines a new allocation policy based on the budget granted by the Erasmus+ Agency. The grant may not cover the entire duration of the mobility abroad.
Additional Inclusion Support
The Erasmus+ program places equal opportunities, inclusion, and diversity at the heart of its priorities. It aims to support individuals with fewer opportunities, particularly due to social or economic barriers, health issues, or disabilities.
In this context, emlyon business school provides additional support of €250 per month (depending on the funded period) for students who:
- Have a disability or a long-term illness
- Are CROUS grant holders (levels 6 or 7)
- Live in priority urban areas (QPV)
- Live in rural revitalization areas (ZFRR)
If you meet the inclusion criteria defined by the Erasmus+ Charter 2021–2027, you may benefit from this additional support.
Erasmus+ and Mobility for Students with Disabilities
Within the Erasmus+ program, our school pays particular attention to students with disabilities wishing to undertake mobility. Additional funding may be granted to cover extra costs related to your situation. This support is based on actual expenses and aims to cover specific costs not included in standard Erasmus+ funding.
Erasmus+ Strategy 2021–2027
In line with the school’s international strategy, emlyon business school is committed to complying with the principles of the Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education 2021–2027.
The Erasmus+ program, funded by the European Union, aims to strengthen the quality and European dimension of higher education. It supports international student mobility and encourages cooperation between higher education institutions and businesses across Europe. As a holder of the Erasmus+ Charter, emlyon’s strategy is fully aligned with the development of its three core pillars: hybridization, internationalization, and social and environmental commitment.
BRMIE : Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Regional Grant
