Master’s students’ semester abroad (ESF DoRa 7)

Within the framework of Action 7 of the ESF DoRa programme, Master's students can apply for the scholarship to take study courses at a foreign university once during their master's studies.

Support is available in taking an integral study period abroad (semester/trimester), but not for less than 1 month or longer than 6 months. Students can select the foreign university themselves - in order to apply, they need the invitation letter (letter of admission) from their host university.

Grants are available to University of Tartu Master's students of all accredited study programmes and students of integrated studies (starting from the 4th year of integrated studies) who have shown good academic results and have selected the theme for their Master's thesis. DoRa 7 scholarship holders must take courses at foreign university for at least 4 ECTS per month or 20 ECTS per semester.

DoRa 7 scholarship covers the travel expenses and living costs - the amount of the scholarship depends on the host country.

NB! Please read the Guidelines of DoRa 7 scholarship.
